Avoriaz has brought to Europe a new generation of 100% natural snow playgrounds: «The Stash».
A new concept in snowparks imported from the Californian resort of North Star, it was developed by Jake Burton himself, famous for his visions on the future of the snowboard.
Situated in the middle of a large expanse of un-groomed snow it is ideal for trying out wide turns in powder snow.
These slopes wind in and out of the trees in the Lindarets forest and are punctuated with hidden wooden obstacles all around the circuits that skiers stumble across when hurtling down a ‘secret passage’. You have to ski or snowboard down the same slope many times to discover all the concealed modules.
