pretty sure its in kitzbuhel-not the hannekham but another one that was very short but had warning of 70-degree in parts. Think it was called the Diretissima

reckon it might just be for the olympic year they dont do it?
hope so-really enjoyed High Altitude

La Mine bar was brillaint fun last year-the band are bloody good!

Park-wise there is a big park in La Plagne-look on youtube which we spent most of the time watching pros doing cork 9s! However there is a decent beginers park above it which was more my style....

Snowbandit - I look forward to seeing your face like :shock: when we hit the top of Pic Blanc!

There is a lot of mellow terrain to be had, I just picked the most difficult ;)

look at the mogul field in the bottom right of the pic in that link!!

Skied everything but ER5 which has never been open (lower ER5 is just kinda meadow skipping terrain and not totally worth a mention) and Big 7 for no other reason that I didn't really know it was there between a load of the other Wall runs and ER6.

They look absolutely brilliant-I have never been across to USA or canada, is that all off pitse or are they marked trials but just unpisted?

EDIT:

A couple to throw in the mix

-Vallon de la Sache down into Tignes les Brevieres
-Le Face in Val D'isere
-The Wall in Tignes
-The whole of the Aiguille Rouge in Les Arcs top to bottom in one hit,no stops.....still haven't managed it :( ...need to be much fitter
-The black from the top of the Rendl section in St.Anton (buggered if i can remember the name)
-And a final one, the off-piste route from the Pissalais glacier and the Gorge du Malpassat down into Le Fornet over the frozen river( not so easy when the river isn't fully frozen in places,cave diving equipment would be needed if you slip :D)

dont suppose you happen to live in the espace killy area do you?!
Vallon de la Sache was the one I meant, never knew that was the full name-love the one to le fornet too-where is the wall?

Just a few to mention
