A Favorite Ski Resort, l'Espace Killy, Val d'Isere

Val d'Isère is known for its charming "chalet" architecture and the "l'Espace Killy", one of the largest ski areas in the world reaching from 1785 m–3599 m of altitude offering 300km of piste plus breathtaking off piste skiing.

This year's season started already with lot's of snow beyond 100 cm, the photo shows the center of Val d'Isere in Dec/2007as an amazingly quiet winter idyll covered in deep snow. Excellent precausions for the coming ski season, and of course an excellent photo.

Absolutly amazing look from the top of Bellevarde towards the Manchet valley. On the right hand Charvet. La Face du Charvet looks south.

  Excellent Off-Piste Skiing Tignes, France 2007
Capturing a day like this is awesome. When just perfect skiing conditions come together resulting in fresh powder, early sun and deep temperatures it's a pleasure to enjoy a day off-piste skiing on the treeless heights of Tignes between 3600m and 2100m of altitude.

By the way, did I mention the glorious YouTube/AJAX search integration? Check it out further below:

  HAPPY HOLIDAYS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! The slide show will tell you about some of my favorite off-piste that l'Espace Killy offers. I present these more to be viewed where we have skied rather than to encourage you to do the same. The risk zero doesn't exist in the mountains. Off-piste skiing involves analyzing the mountain to find these safer areas, skiing in a manner that minimizes risk and being equipped.
