Locals do |
Locals don't |
|---|---|
| Respect the mountain, check the weather and come equipped for all conditions. |
Brag about what they've done that day. |
| Catch up on local gossip over a Pastis with Michou, landlady of Lou Ratel. |
Spend money on ski clothes but save up for newer, fatter skis. |
| Ski, hike, climb, go ski touring, paragliding, kite-skiing, snowshoeing... |
Ignore the advice of the ski patrollers at the base of the gondola. |
| Take training for the Derby de la Meije very, very seriously. |
Pros |
Cons |
|---|---|
| Wild and raw freeriding - some of the world's best. |
Being north-facing, the mountain can be toe-curlingly cold until March. |
| Provides a unique, unspoiled piece of mountain life. |
The mountain is frequently shut down due to bad storms. |
| Will push all skiers to the very limits of their capabilities - expect to improve dramatically. |
There can be queues for the gondola, especially on weekends. |
