Quite the opposite Tony, you sound like the type of person I would get on well with as does Wickers & some others on here, don't put yourself down too much as I will do that for you. -)

But only with you ;-)

Is this some sort of lovers code -)

Do we need a group hug? ;)

Good idea - especially if it will help Brooksy to find a room mate :D

If anyone else is interested in going on this holiday with us, would you please either post a message up on here or send me a pm. The basic description of the holiday is on the first page of this thread, and at the moment we still have several spare rooms in the chalet.

Thanks,

Ally

I am pleased to announce that I have decided to go on this trip but will need to share a twin room with another person, is that person you?

Brooksy, how about posting a new thread in the "Find a Ski Buddy" forum and ask the same question (providing the link to this thread for details)????

It just crossed my mind that the "Find a Ski Buddy" is one of the forums that always stays "on top", right on the Ski Forum Index list! So there might be a better chance to be noticed by somebody who would be interested. (...By contrast this thread would be found only by people who either have an interest of checking out the "France" forums, or who would scroll down to the bottom on the page to see what were the new threads in the "Latest Ski Chat"...)

Yes - we're talking about the Sache piste. There are several videos of people ski-ing down it. Here is one of a couple going down it very slowly at the beginning of April - and you can see all the rocks, bumps, and how steep it is.

But I suppose it is encouraging that it was still open then, because we should have loads more snow than this in the middle of January :D

Perhaps I will just STAY in the cafe, and wait for you all to come back :wink:

jees was that filmed in slow motion :shock:

LOL, LOL, LOL, only now I got to watch that! And I have to agree with Ian's comment :) ... who knows, maybe they were going so slow because they were looking for something ? ;) (like something they dropped in a previous run ?)

Anyway, the piste looks doable; however I'd have to be desperate for some skiing to subject my own skis to that kind of snow conditions... (not that I haven't done it before, but my current skis being relatively new, I guess I still feel a bit overprotective ;) )

Isn't that just the poor conditions/scrubbed slopes?

Hi Cat,
Don't worry about the poor quality of the snow on the Sache piste in that video - they were going down it in April and we will be ski-ing it in the middle of January, when there should be plenty of snow :D

So - your skis will be fine :D

I posted those two videos up, rather than one of someone ski-ing the Sache super fast, because I think they show the route and level of difficulty of the piste very clearly.

Like you, I think it's doable, but I will be going down it very slowly and carefully myself so you'll probably have to wait for me at the bottom :lol:
