Favourite runs

MogulManiac wrote:The Hidden Valley in Val d'Isere, specially when you get to the bit where you either go potholing or climb an ice cliff, balancing skis as you go! Anyone know any similar runs to this?

I know this one! My brother and I had a lot of fun trying to fit through a raaather small gap after a season of good snow.

One of my favourite pistes has got to be Jerusalem, above St. Martin de Belleville in the 3 valleys. If you get it on a quiet day, you can zoom down it and fly off the top of massive rollers. It also has spectacular views, and because of it's out-of-the-way location, can be a bit of a peaceful spot on busy days.

Face in Val D'Isere is also a favourite for thigh-burning goodness.

Red run down to Val Thorens from the Cime de Caron. Screaming corkscrewing run, balls out, barely clinging to the edges on the hairpins, legs like jelly in clingfilm..FANTASTIC!

I know the one - 50% terrifying, 50% sense of achievemnt

which is about right if you ask me!

My Favourite is the Ok in VDI down to La Daille

I know its not tricked up like it is for the stars and I know I don't hit at their speed or fly the jumps etc but there's a real sense of achievement of running down a World Cup grade piste non-stop at (your own version of) full tilt!

You can keep the Face mind you..... :shock:

The Tunnel mentioned in an earlier post - is this at VDI?
