    Grimentz/Zinal CH New Cablecar Closes Freeride Area?

    Whats the scoop on this one?
    Is this a done deal or is there input on keeping that area open like it's been?

    The new piste map doesn't show any changes - apart from an obvious new lift!

    I imagine the new cable car is going to make it a very different ski area & valley.
    Much of the off piste will become more accessible and easier to lap...
    Though would be nice if it retained some of the quiet sleepy backwater charm (rather than just become a verbier overflow)
    Great part of the alps!

    Given how few people in Verbier get themselves to Bruson, much less Ovronnaz or Champex, I wouldn't be too concerned about that.
