 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Is there a permanent free to use for general skiers slalom course anywhere in the Portes du soleil or Verbier? Could do with one for GCSE PE filming. Is there one in the Avoriaz ski park area?

What do you consider a "slalom course"? If you are really looking for a giant slalom course then just enter an ESF Fleche race, there is always a wide range of abilities skiing in them.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I’m really just looking for a piste with a minimum of 15 flags set up. They have them in the Dolomites with a timer so you can see how long it takes where we’ve been for the last couple of trips.

No, there is no permanent run such as you describe. Best bet would be to contact the local ski clubs and see if they'd allow you to tag along when they're doing their training.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@LadyDi, If you want flags then that is a giant slalom, just enter a Fleche and film it.

I didn’t know you could do that. I’ll investigate. Thanks.

@LadyDi, worth checking whether for the GCSE it needs to be slalom or Giant Slalom, or whether it can be either.

I don’t think it matters - it says either slalom (1:15 gates depending on level), downhill, ski cross or slope style. It doesn’t have to be in an actual competition (just other people around is enough) but I think that will help.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

When I was in Mayhoffen circa 7 years ago they had a number of these around the place (it got rather competitive with my previous racer friends!). Quite a few places have one of these somewhere, but unless you get to it quick or have proper race pedigree they can get rutty and scratchy pretty quickly and wouldn't flatter on video for a remote PE teacher!
You can also have a private race training session with ESF (chunk more than the Fleche though).

My daughter did her GCSE skiing filming in Avoriaz in 2022. We used the ski school we've always used there to film it, to make sure it was done properly, but we just sent them the exam spec and they sorted it out no problem.
(Unsubtle brag, she got 19 out of 20 for it, so must have done ok  )
