@Chaletbeauroc, I should have specified in France (or Italy) ... I've been evicted by closing pisteurs more than once ...although, I suppose, local/regional rules, etc.

The advert for it on the local radio station claims that it is, also by snowmobile (presumably for a large fee).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@terrygasson, oh, yes, back in the day (89/90/91) we used to spend Friday apres ski at the top of the local mountain and then run our own torchlit descents for our clients. Obviously everyone a bit squiffy.
Only ever lost one client. 
But anywhere I regularly ski these days the on mountain establishments are emptied by the pisteurs as they close each run.
Only place that I can imagine being an exception might be the Folie Douce above la Daille?

Yeah we'd be their Guardians while on the trip - interestingly you're advised to take a consent letter with you in case challenge at the border.

You will also require a letter giving you authority to authorise medical treatment in case it is needed. |

Adding to the ‘good old days’ vide here’s a true story … although not about skiing
First time I went to Folembray with a motorcycle training company we found what was, essentially, a race track in someone’s (large) garden.
The track was in dreadful condition with large ruts in innopportune places but it was still fun … except for one unfortunate who hit one at speed and launched his bike onto the armco (fortunately, he was fine - the bike not).
The circuit closed for one hour at lunch and we repaired to the dining room … where two carafes of wine had been place on every table ! The owner of the training company immediately told us all not to touch it and went to remonstrate with the track owner … who responded with incredulity that such a small amount of wine could be considered a problem ! The wine was duly removed … but the owner was still rather bemused as to why his hospitality had been rejected. I mean, surely piloting unstable, high speed machines around a rutted racetrack could only be enhanced by a glass or two of wine !
PS. The owner of the training company was also a serving police officer at the time
