Nice. First time I've ever re-played a Flash intro. No idea where it
is, doesn't look like anywhere I've skied in Tignes, but it's a long
time since I was there.

The advertising has worked on me though, I'm now wondering about a trip
to Tignes... the skiing is really rather good...

I think it's the face well to the left of the col leading over to the
Vallon de la Sache. If you follow that face round until it ends in a
butress facing the village there's a few good slopes which are accessible
from another lift which goes up from one end of that annoying horizontal
lift (someone please come along with a plan and put some names on this!).

It ends in a bit of a faux plat - you have to traverse out quite high,
unless you're going very fast :-)

Yes, there's a lot of good skiing in Tignes. Quite a lot better than that
slope, actually, although that's quite the best use I've ever seen anyone
make of it!

A friend was at Tignes a few weeks ago. Okay there is not much snow
about. He ducked under ropes to do some between the piste skiing only to
hear a loud whistle and some pisteur whizzing over. He was told to get
back on the piste. What about all the ads you are doing ? (the funicular
runs a load of freeskiing videos). Ah that... well the piste patrol have
been told to be much more pro-active with skiers and boarders who they
consider are doing stupid things. The aim is to educate not to sanction.
So my friend said, now that I'm educated can I continue? No not at
all, stay on the piste.

Now the pisteur had his reasons that day, fair enough. But maybe here
needs to be more connection between the reality and marketing. After all
Tignes had a terrible record for avalanche deaths last year.

Reasons, maybe, but no right. They can advise or suggest, but they
have no authority to tell you where you may or may not ski.

Did it? I didn't notice, but I did do some 'brilliant' off-piste
skiing (in fact, I wondered if it was me on the film clip) around
easter last year.

Surely not, you wouldn't have staggered on landing like that :-)

That was the giveaway, yes.

I was there until last saturday. The snow conditions are getting
desperate but I believe it may be snowing now. Off piste at the moment
is dangerous due to lack of snow. There are still araes high up on the
glacier where you can go off, eg. to the side of Leisse and the pistuers
don't seem to be batting an eyelid. I suspect your pal must have been on
a dangerous bit!
