TR: Les Diablerets/Villars 3/7/2004

Resort: Les Diablerets/Villars, Switzerland
Date: 3/6/2004
Temp: -10C
Wind: Still
Snow: Powder
Sun: Overcast, dumping!

On the advice of Al, we head to Leysin, but on the way he smses us the 411 on Glacier3000 - the Comb is expected to open at 10am. So we redirect to Les Diablerets and start there until 10am. Al joins us a bit later but unfortunately, the weather doesn't break and the Comb stays closed. On the bright side, we're at Les Diablerets (lotsa trees) and it's absolutely dumping! It snowed constantly all day, getting heavier towards the evening. We ski a few runs on the Les Diablerets side with great soft fluffy knee deep powder. Then moved on to the Villars side, and ran the Petit Chamoissaire lift the rest of the day. Nice steep pitch, super trees, and no crowds kept us stoked all afternoon.

sweet! as always...nice to see it isn't always bluebird with a foot of fresh!!

Damn, looks like another nice day on the hills... Like the last powder shot of you as the headless boarder.. ;) It's dry times in Tahoe now... Quite depressed actually... It's my fault though, I bought a new swallowtail.. It'll never snow again...

Thanks for the pics though. A nice reminder of what can be...

The patrons of Vail/Aspen/etc. wouldn't stand for this two seater nonsense:
