More Powder Porn







From a day trip to Courchevel in March, some pictures I never got around to posting.

By the way, if you really want to feel like James Bond in For Your Eyes Only, there's really no easier way than to have lunch at a mountaintop terrace restaurant on Col de la Loze (2305 meters), in the brilliant sunshine, wearing your parka and ski boots, lingering over your duck breast and assiette de charcuterie while helicopters and parasailers pass below you [top photo]. Expensive, yes, but so is everything at a ski resort, and Lotus Esprit Turbos are even pricier.

By the way, click to enlarge the second photo. See those wavy lines coming down the essentially-vertical face? Yep, ski tracks. Not made by me.
