In reply to rebeccam:
It could mean a slight detour for you but Les Gets , Morzine & Montriond region has a lot of nice cross country trails , I had to stay off the downhill courses one season as broke collarbone early on( again ) so I rode a lot of the mellower routes , there are some nice rides along the river through Morzine , stunning scenery . Avoriaz is good too & not so far away.
Also along side a lot of the downhill tracks ( black runs ) there are much less technical and smoother red & green runs . Ashamed to say that I haven't done many of these yet but I hope to soon .
