However, one of my favourite days of this season was definitely when a few of us took part in a guided off piste lesson. It was led by Parallel lines, the ski school Ski Basics works closely with. Our instructor, Craig, gave us all avalanche kits, took us up Saulire Express and then on to some off piste that led us back down to Mottaret. He gave us a few tips but mostly just guided us through fresh powder on an incredible route which we never would\u2019ve found ourselves!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3761 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9256c533-46a3-4523-8144-60dec2b44a34-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Seasonnaire stories - off piste skiing in Meribel \" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9256c533-46a3-4523-8144-60dec2b44a34-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9256c533-46a3-4523-8144-60dec2b44a34-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9256c533-46a3-4523-8144-60dec2b44a34-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9256c533-46a3-4523-8144-60dec2b44a34-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9256c533-46a3-4523-8144-60dec2b44a34-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/900;\" \/>This lesson gave us the additional skills and confidence needed to explore more of the incredible off piste skiing all around The Three Valleys. We then spent the season enjoying more off-piste adventures covering Meribel, Courchevel, Saint Martin, and Val Thorens. One of the best things about being on a season is being able to get straight out and enjoy the fresh powder as soon as it snows and we were very spoilt in terms of snowfall over the season!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flying_high_over_the_Three_Valleys\"><\/span>Flying high over the Three Valleys<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another unforgettable memory was flying over Three Valleys on the Three Valleys plane to end the season.
