Seems I wont need anything as the group appears to be fully armed with Apps & Maps, so just wait for the "follow me" call. 8)

You shouldn't have any problems getting where you want to go using blues and the odd red.

If the OH wants to build some confidence of reds head for La Masse, the upper slopes always have some of the best snow in 3V, it's quiet and the view spectacular.

This map gives a better picture of the distribution of blue/red runs.

Strange how the Three Valleys looks very different when orientated that way around. The piste maps are the other way i.e. Val T to the Right, Courcheval to the Left.

and I'm surprised how few blues show up in the Courcheval valley.
if I'm not skiing then I'm kayaking.

The map comes from http://www.plandespistes.nl/savoie/les-trois-vallees
There are a few resorts on there, all look very different when properly orientated.

Booked now for Val Thorens, and would be interested to know which pistes are considered the "must do's" out of the 300 or so available?

Now at the end of my amazing week in VT.
Did pretty much every run recommended and top vote goes to Jerusalem..
Stunning red with cracking views. Completely unpisted at the top and as it had snowed during the night it was fantastic. All in all with a mix of snow nearly every evening and some sunshine on some of the days, it's been best week ever.
