In January I went on my first ski trip in 5 years!
Morzine is a ski resort in the French Alps, close to the Swiss border. It’s part of the Portes du Soleil ski area, linked by lifts and cable cars. Partially forested slopes have summer trails and bike lifts. The Col de la Joux Verte pass climbs from Morzine to the higher-altitude resort of Avoriaz, near the Hauts-Forts mountain. In the village, restaurants and bars cluster around Route de la Plagne.
Les Gets is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. The village's first single-person chair lift was opened in 1938 with the first chair lift on Mont Chéry in 1954
Le Pas de Chavanette, also known as the "Mur Suisse" or "Swiss Wall", is a particularly steep and difficult piste in the Portes du Soleil ski area, on the border between France and Switzerland. It can be reached from the French resort of Avoriaz and from the Swiss towns of Les Crosets and Champéry.
Champéry is a municipality in the district of Monthey in the canton of Valais in Switzerland

Ah I really felt your pain on your off day! When I have days like that I end up crying! I could feel how highly emotional this was for you too! I got stuck in a white out in Morzine. Couldn't see a single thing, lost everyone and also my skies which decided were not fitting right (the bracket had moved!) had come off. A woman who I'd just met came to help me with her friend and she talked me through the process of skiing down safely. We got to the bubble and she said I could jump in there but I was so proud of my achievement that I skied right down to the red run that sits in front of the bar that everyone goes to for apres and watches people rolling down to the bottom! I have never been so elated and relieved to take my skies off and get a vin chaud 🥰🥰

Did you go down the Swiss Wall Robbie?

One thing you need to do is face down the hill and just move the lower half. Keep over the fronts of the skis and remember that bobbin down or up takes the weight of the skis so that you can turn them better. How I wish I was doing that. We had great fun there is Les Gets staying at what we called the cowshed, near a lift powered by a diesel engine that the operator who lived next door to us would keep open till it was well dark.

I went to Morzine way back in 1990 when I was about your age and it was only my 2nd skiing holiday. Me and my sis took one look at the wall and both of us thought Holy S**T!! It was more like a cliff than a slope. In the intervening years I’ve skied plenty of blacks but wouldn’t dream of attempting the Wall (even if I was young again)

I did the Swiss Wall twice when I was in my thirties. When I was back in Chatel ten years later, I didn't dare to try it again...

It always gets me the same…think I’ve cracked it and then lose concentration for a second, catch an edge and then I’m head over heels. Falling on compacted groomed pistes at speed can hurt contrary to what people might think.

Hey, I’m looking to go this season. My friend said one piece of advice is go to resorts that are big enough for u to try loads of stuff on ur ski season since you’re there for a long timr. I’m guessing since it’s France to Switzerland it’s a big resort but no harm in asking you too? Thankyou for your help
@JamieLoweTV
@JamieLoweTV 3 года назад
There are loads of resorts right across France, Switzerland and the rest of the alps. The ski pass I had was great because I didn’t even manage to ski on all the places we had access to!
