We finally made it out skiing today after collecting our skis from Lavanchy Sports at la Grande Terche. After assembling all our new gear we only made it up to Avoriaz by midday.
What was the skiing like?
It. Was. Awesome! There were probably only 100 other skiers and boarders out there in total today. The visibility wasn't great in parts, but the snow. The snow was awesome. Fresh powder and we got to lay fresh tracks on the runs in the resort that are usually ice by the time you get to them.
There are only about seven runs open at Avoriaz and none of the connecting lifts over to Chatel or Switzerland were running. That didn't stop us having a fabulous afternoon bouncing around in the powder off Les Tannes (a red run going down from Avoriaz to Lindaret) or speeding down on of the only open run at the top (Bleue de Lac).
It was about -6C at Avoriaz, but i think it was a lot colder at the top. Can't wait to go out again!
