That's a blue? Wow, this would be a green where I ski.

To be honest the camera doesn't do it justice and really it's only the top part of what's to come...it's just a linking run.

n31lrc Ah. I just got back from skiing near Courchevel 1850 (stayed in La Tania) in the three valleys. Went down a few difficult blues and reds and it was really a great time. We did have one horrible experience where two kids (6 or 7) shot down this red run without knowing how to stop or turn. Inevitably, they both crashed and did not move for a few minutes. We thought they were unconscious or even dead as it was a potentially life threatening crash as they were at extreme speeds. Luckily they were not harmed.

It is qualitatively a green, but at the end of it, to get back to where you started requires a chair that takes you to the top of an invariably crowded blue. So, I guess they don't want total greenies going down it - even if they can do it without problem.
