Popular Post GSSucks Posted January 15, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 15, 2018 Hit up Brevent and La Gliere today, lots of sun and ripping groomers. A bit of off paste today but it was hitnor miss depending on the aspect. Hired a guide for tomorrow and they are calling for 5” overnight and 8-13 during the day tomorrow. Also took a ride up the midi because today may have been the only clear day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 13 1 Quote

GSSucks Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 Hit up Les Grand today, delayed start due to a lot of wind at elevation. The guide recommended we stop for coffee on the way there to let things open up. We got on snow around 9:45 when the lifts opened. Had a few really good runs but I have no idea how much snow we actually got because it was so windy. The guide showed us to a magical forest that was blocked from wind and it was really good. They ended up closing the mountain around 2 because of wind and evacuated everyone off from mid station. We all got towed by a sled back to the other side of the resort since the lifts were not spinning where we were stuck and skied down from there. Hit up a real fun zone on the way back to the base and as we got lower in elevation the snow got wetter and heavier with every turn. It’s raining currently in town so hopefully the snow line is not too high and we will get more good turns tomorrow! I didn’t take many pictures today maybe justo will post some.

JFskiDan Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 So, i am assuming the guide was pretty instrumental in getting you guys relocated off the mountain. How would this have gone if you didnt have a guide? Quote
GSSucks Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 anyway, props to GSSucks and Justo for ripping it out there. riding europe would be amazingIt’s real deal, absolutely mind blowing. The resorts are unlike anything I’ve ever seen, they are massive and it is super easy to get around town and from resort to resort. The cheese and wine is pretty amazing as well. Highly recommend to anyone that can swing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote

There are lifts and restaurants sprinkled all over the slopes, but you rarely have to go down to the villages' level. All day long you just roam on the huge map trying to memorize your way back and checking time periodically. Because if you make the wrong turn or don't make it to the initial point before the closing, you'll be in the wrong village, and then let's hope there is a bus system there. Quote
Popular Post GSSucks Posted January 17, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 17, 2018 Went to Les Houches today with the guide, had a coffee to start the day off then rolled down for first tram. When we woke up we did not think skiing today was going to be an option, the wind was ripping and very gusty in town, by 830 it had calmed down significantly and by 9 it was pretty much still. Did a few laps with solid over knee turns and it was easy to link knee to waste deep turns together. It continued to snow all day and it just kept getting deeper and better. Our guide kept showing us to new zones and more deep turns, we generally skied the trees and lift lines. The snow was overall pretty light at elevation but you had to watch out for the snow snakes towards the village. We had lunch around 1, followed by a few more knee deep plus turns and finished the day off with a beer in the village with the guide. It is still snowing a bit and should pick up overnight for more good turns tomorrow. We only paid for two days with the guide but he said he will follow up for the rest of our trip and give us weather updates and a plan on where to ski daily. The guide was well worth the money, he was a super cool guy and and absolute ripper. Having a few beers at our place now and about to go get some food and a few more beers, it’s karaoke night at an awesome little watering hole we hit up on Sunday night so we may head there for a bit. Again I did not get many pictures maybe justo will post some, he has some good shots. Little stream crossing towards the baseMoney shot of the day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 11 1 Quote
