I understand a lot of people fall here and get barracked from the bar as they slide past on their backsides!!!!

Exactly, videos and photos don't do runs justice which is why I said it LOOKS like a cruisy blue in the video. I've seen La Face from above so have a pretty good idea what its like, wide is better than narrow on a black, hate moguls and ice, if the conditions are good I'll give it a bash.

What about the Coupe de Monde run which I believe is red?

I was lucky to be at the top one day when it was opened up after an international race, it was so smooth, it was amazing...and really easy to get a move on 8)

Not sure I'd agree with that, as it's the Mens World Cup Downhill run it attracts plenty of speed freaks.
