Felt like it too when I had a "taster" boarding afternoon in VT once.....

To be fair though I'd rather board down that than ski down the other approach into town (past the Club Med) if its like last year with more ice than snow and beginners carnage everywhere....

:lol: Your so right, you mean the run just over the bridge? That's absolute carnage every afternoon as people ski back over to VT?...

Tony... It might well be a red but it's still used for the beginners, last yr they marked half of it off for turning around cones.

That's the run I mean!

Last year had a toss up for getting home from Meribel/Courchevel as to which was the lesser of two evils: that one or come down the short black from Col de la Chambre (Goitschel) into Plein Sud and dodge all the nutters fresh from the Folie Douce heading down the "path" to my chalet via the 270 degree bend!

You do need eyes in the back of your head on Plan Sud late afternoon, I tend to stick to the bit in between the pistes, it's far easier than avoiding the carnage on piste and there are usually some nice bumps to use that last little bit of energy on!

our chalet last year was "ski in" but that involved taking the "slip road" off to the left as you come down from the Folie Douce which had become an ice rink due to no snow low down. Carnage on the bend.....
