April in Grimentz

The last run but one off piste on my last day, I felt my skiing had actually improved, a Eureka! moment. So much more terrain to ski in Grimentz, definitely need more Avalanche Awareness training. Left with the feeling that I've got away with the consequences of a couple of poor route choices this April.

You're quite right, I have been off-piste with an instructor, but only really down the side of a piste, or between 2 pistes. I should have said I am too cautious to go off-piste without an instructor.

I thought the itinerary routes were avalanche controlled? I'm pretty sure they are in Tignes - the ones that are basically ungroomed (but patrolled) black pistes.

Thanks Wickers It's a shame you're not a Swiss skiing fan, I think you'd enjoy Grimentz.

Indeed. Bandit, you asked if there was a collective name for a group of woopy jumpers. How about skidron?

Any pics of them actually jumping?
