11th of April, slow snow can really throw you off your game! You have to take it a bit slower sometimes to avoid getting launched. The new Léchère/Cases connection can be a life saver. I used to start in Les Crosets, because of its accessibility by car and parking underneath the lifts. But the Mossettes lift back, being much more exposed, often shuts down in high-wind situations and then you'd have really long detour on your hands getting back to CH! Twice, I almost got stuck in F. Fortunately, that has been fixed now.
U ever planning to go to val Cenis? It’s pretty underrated tbf. Especially the part above termignon. It feels like ur the only one on the world so calm is it there
As I won't be going to Switzerland in the season after this one, all-being-well I'll stick to Austria and France resorts before I go further afield, and going by the pieste map Avoriaz has a bit of everything from beginners and up.
That tumble reminded me of when I was following some good distance behind a piste basher going down a long wide blue in Les Arcs the day after a couple of days of fresh snowfall. It was a piste that was ungroomed apart from the fresh trail being left by the basher which I was using I was just gliding along enjoying the view suddenly both tips dug in and boom straight over the front onto my back lol. I wasn't hurt or winded, but my pride was dented when a generous skier helped recover my skis and suggested I take the sticky sales label off the base of my new skis hahaa. DOH!
Haha, now that's funny... though I would say it's a similar experience... normally when I hit a patch of slow slow snow... both skis suddenly stop and I tend to go head first... in this case, the left one did and I went into a spin...

I think you'll enjoy Avoriaz...you could even ski into Switzerland from there...

Wow, maybe it will get better as it gets colder bringing more snow..?
This was from the end of last season... so snow was soft...
По звуку лыж похоже что снег немного мокрый
It was, soft spring snow...
is this from today or last season?
End of last season, the date is in the description...
