A Wrong Turn in Avoriaz

I have been wanting to try the Prodains run that goes from Avoriaz 1800 down to valley level at Prodains, but until today had not got around to it  Thanks to a wrong turn coming down the Arare piste, I ended up on this run with no way back to Avoriaz centre.  So down to Prodains it was.  Alison, thinking that I knew what I was doing, followed me down to the bottom.  But thanks to the delay and lack of mobile phone signal, it took us the rest of the morning to get back in contact.  Anyway, an opportunity for us each to do our own thing in the morning, which in my case was to try out the Marmottes snowcross off-piste are that had been closed until recently.

Weather: sunny on the slopes (but foggy in the valley). -6 deg.
Snow: good everywhere.
