How long will it be?
Started by User in Avalanche Safety, 3 Replies
I am off skiing for 3 days to Morzine on Saturday. It is throwing it down with snow there at the minute, conditions are looking fantastic :D

However, how long will it be until they start closing slopes and raising that horrible flag saying they are closed - the one we all dread!!

I dont want to go only to find that there has been 'too much snow' and it is no longer safe!

Sainte Foy Tarentaise: does anyone know it?

Yes!!

I went there last season. The first few days the ski was limited due to the lack of snow, however one eveningabout a metre fell and the skiing was fantastic. If you go up to the very top the long ski to the villiage is brilliant. The off piste skiing is also fantastic - what sainte foy is famous for.

Places to eat - there os an excellent Italian in the town centre, after that it is a bit limited. Th restaurants in my opinion were very overpriced. Cant say I ever had the need for a spa etc so i cnat comment on that.

ONe thing I will say is that the guysin the ski shop - cant remember the name - it is as you come into the resort - are really helpful. Evenn let me borrow a pair of ski boots for a couple of days while i had problems with mine.

A great holiday, also in driving distamce of Tignes and Val d'isere so alternative skiing is available also. The lift pass entitles you to 1 day in that area.

Have a great holiday :mrgreen:

That sounds better. Assume the running will strengthen the quads?

OK, today is 18 January, I go boarding for the first time on 8 March. I would not say I am fit by any stretch of the imagination, but started going to the gym again at the begginning of 2008.

What should I be doing to get myself fit for boarding? What should I concentrate on, or is it just 'generally fit'.

Will I get there in 2 months? :wink: :roll:
