Yes, there are some good slopes! But many of them or not steep enough in my opinion. The worst thing is that such bigs resorts, like Verbier, are often too crowded, what is bad for safe EC. When do you go there? At Christmas?

PS: Don't go there in March or April: all the slopes are mainly on south faces and the snow is iced or wet :-(

hi patrice,
yes i ll go there in two weeks (12.12.) :xmas: and stay till the first week of 2004 :birthday: .
perhaps i ll have a chance to visit zinal (all the swiss ive met were talking about it)
:pray: for snow
i cant wait to see some footage from lech, Lech is mainly blue , but i think there is a good piste for ec in zürs the nr.1 , perfect for some "publicity" as it runs into a nice restaurant with many watching 8O
have fun! :lol:
