Visit Morzine: a Heavenly Experience

One of the most gorgeous and picturesque tows, Morzine is located in the centre of Portes du Soleil. One of the highlights of this region are numerous attractively designed chalets that run through the length of river Gorge with wooded slopes and allow skiing even in adverse climate. The route leading to this place is perfect to perfect the art of skiing. Quite a few families, particularly women and kids, can be seen enjoying their first brush with skiing here. This is one of the major reasons why resorts here are a favourite amongst visitors. The place also has enough to play host to expert skiers as well. Places like Avoraiz which are led by Prodains lifts are perfect for such people who can demonstrate their prodigious talent in the more challenging terrain here.

Morzine is also popular with snow boarders and has played host to such impressive guests like European national teams and pro-riders. What is also interesting to note here is the fact that Morzine has a very rocking night life as well which is a source of great attraction for guests. Morzine is, therefore, liked both by people who want to spend some time away from the rush of the traffic congested city life as well as by people who want to indulge in their passion and enjoy the attractive night life. No wonder there is such a huge rush to visit Morzine all the year round.

A quite place settled in the lap of nature away from the hoopla of any city, Morzine has some smashing tourist attractions to its credit. Not to forget the peaceful ambiance that acts like a balm to the fatigued visitor. Morzine looks even better if one has the pleasure of having one's family with himself. Morzine has plenty of activities for women and children and can play perfect host to them. This is also one major reason why more and more people want to visit Morzine every year.

Activities like mountain biking, golf etc. keep the visitors glued to the place. Morzine has also played host to the grand finale of the first mountain stage of 2003 Tour de France, Stage 17 of the 2006 Tour de France that ended in Morzine. The place was also the starting point of Stage 18. These activities lead to quite a few enthusiasts longing to visit Morzine.

With so much for tourists available at one place, it shouldn't come as a surprise that people queue every year to Visit Morzine, making it one of the most liked tourist destinations in the world.

TELE SKIERS AND FREE RIDERS, HELP ON BUYING THE RIGHT SKI!?

OK, my main question is this; Which is THE BEST ski for big touring and long back country/mountaineering trips? I Ski Rossi Powderbirds and K2 Silencers, so I am use to a wider ski. I think I have narrowed it down to this list;

BD-Verdict: Good ski fo the backcountry for sure. Like a lot of BD skis they are light and have a nice snappy response. Now that BD puts a lot of tech from the old Crossbows in all of it's skis, nearly all of the ones I've tried seem the same except for how much lean you need to get them on edge. Unfortunately, I live in the East and big pow isn't all that common. When I tried these out it was only in a few inches of freshies, so I didn't get a great tryout day. Having skied the Havocs a lot, which are a lot thinner, but have essentially the same construction, and a number of other BD skis as well, I'd say these are a pretty good choice. The Verdicts I tried were mounted up with BD 01s. Lots of power, but I think I still like the 03 better.

K2-Anti Piste: The big brother to my beloved Work Stinx. I've skied the Antis on a few occasions in some deeper stuff and to be honest, I didn't see a big difference between them and the Work Stinx. In all honesty, I weigh 270 fully dressed and ride 181s. My fat butt sinks down to the base no matter how wide the ski is. A few weeks ago I ran into a cat who was skiing on Coombas mounted up with Rottefella Cobra 8s. He told me he tried the Antis as well and couldn't tell the difference between the two skis. They have the same dimensions and almost same construction. If you gotta make a choice based on price, keep an eye on all the K2 Telemark line skis because K2 is dropping the Telemark specific line for 09-10 and you may be able to snake a sweet deal on the Anti-Piste simply because it may be going away. (Something tells me the Coomba will be the only K2 fatty-ski for next season.)

Atomic-Janak Bro: I've never really cared for Atomic's Tele/AT line. I always find Atomics a bit stiffer and thus faster. This doesn't always work well in the trees or throwing sharp, quick tele turns on the steeps. I won't say these are bad skis...far from it. However, I'd take the Verdict or the Anti-Piste before I'd take the Janek Bro.

The Altibirds are almost the same as the Sickbird and an older model and much thinner than the others on your list. I skied those a few years ago, on-piste. It's a good ski for the East or groomers, but not a real pow-ski in my opinion.

I didn't have the opportunity to try the others on your list. I could have tried the Volkls if others at one of the demos I was at weren't hogging them.

Hope this helps a bit. Good Luck!
