Just got back from an amazing week in Verbier. What an amazing place. About as far from a beginners resort as you can get, but for anyone who's into challenging pistes and off piste it's incredible.
The itinerary runs were all in tip top condition with all the new snow and were so much fun.
Sunday was snowy with poor vis, but then the weather cleared and we got 5 sunny days in close to perfect conditions.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow once I've been through them.
Verbier - Wow! What an ski area!

Wow, someone was up early going through their pics on the first morning home :shock: :D
Lovely pics Andy, looks like you had a great week. As you say, it looks like a pretty good area too. Are you planning a return trip yet? :twisted:

Glad you enjoyed your trip! Your pictures remind me that I haven't been farther than the bottom of Tortin station this season and should make up for it. I will disagree though that Verbier is not good for beginners - it has two learning areas (rolling hills on Lac de Vaux and La Chaux) and both are easily accessed from gondolas. But I find that it's not the best for intermediates who plateau-ed. Pistes are not variable enough, often icy and bumped-up in the afternoon. But once the plateau is broken through, Verbier is unparallelled for its back bowls and gullies.

Hi
We want to go to verbier for a day trip from Chamonix valley on the MBU lift pass next month. Where would anyone recommend parking for quick access to the lift system and slopes.
Also if we got just one day where should we head for a good day skiing, we are good red run skiers but as a family prefer long cruises rather than moguls/steeps.
