First tracks in the Couloir des Pisteurs. Powder day at Habère-Poche. Ski de fond across Geneva to get to work. Actually most or all of these except the last are at least briefly possible most seasons; it's more a matter of being there at the right time. Flaine isn't in the PdS - do you mean Avoriaz again? I have in the past wandered around the PdS over 2 days from Avoriaz - put a toothbrush in the rucksack and stayed in a hotel in (if I remember corerctly) Morgins. Jeremy |

funkraum wrote in Verbier - Le Chable. I like your thinking. Never tried this. Surely it would have to be forty below after a three meter dump ? [...] Ski de fond across Geneva to get to work. Almost as enjoyable as watching all the automobile smashes. Actually most or all of these except the last are at least briefly possible most seasons; it's more a matter of being there at the right time. With a chain of web-cams situated down the valley, looking up at the snow line, then it would be easy to tell when 'surf was up'. This would not be as flattering to the resorts as their cameras which are pointed at big patch of white. Techno-economically speaking, we are not far away from a small band of subversives being able to mount cameras on a telegraph pole or apartment balcony and have the image fed to the web via GPRS. Voltage would have to be supplied from a solar panel in the absence of supply by friendly parties. Also: + Jura - Alpine/ski-tour/ski du fond/anything. Great to be among the trees. Although I think the Transjurassienne was cancelled on recent year due to lack of snow. http://www.transjurassienne.com/ |
