Hi, We spent two weeks over xmas and new year in Vaujany and had some great skiing :mrgreen:, unfortunatley the tunnel was closed the whole time we were there :roll:.
I have seen it on youtube and from the lift to the top when la sarenne was open, how hard is it to ski when it is open?

Much depends on the snow conditions. I last did it when it was fairly icy, so it was an interesting experience. I was with a very decent ski leader, who picked an excellent line. Just dropped in and followed - and soon enough we were on the straight cruise out....

It's one of those ones you need to commit to and go for it. So easy to look over the edge and have second thoughts, then you ski it defensively and get it all wrong. Spot your first turn and go.

That must have been a good time to do it as t looks relatively tame in that picture. I've not done it but am I right in believing that the moguls get a hell of a lot bigger than that?!

Yes, the moguls were very large when I did it last! Mr Hull is right, don't stand there pontificating - commit and before you know it, you've done it!

Nice to say I've done it, the conditions were great and only about 6 people on it...but I'm sure I still didn't look pretty!

You could always pole back out the tunnel again if it looks anything like this one...

not my vid, but watch from about 4:20min you get an idea of how steep.

if I'm not skiing then I'm kayaking.
