  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.

  Fascination Speed: New MB World Speed Record
What do high-speed ski racing and downhill mountain biking have in common? They share the same locations while chasing for new speed records. It's just incredible:

The Austrian Markus Stöckl (Kitzbühel) has set a new world speed record for series mountain bikes (Intense M6 bike) on a 2000 m long and 45° steep speed track in La Parva, Chilean Alps. With a speed of 210.4 km/h (130.7 mph) he exceeded his 8 year old record from Les Arcs, French Alps, by 23 km/h (14 mph). (Via MS Racing Blog)

  Yesterday's Fabulous Horse Racing Event in D.

Always a pleasure to visit Düsseldorf's picturesque green racecourse a few minutes away from here. It's just amazing to watch a live race experiencing how fast they can go. The difference from average starts with the saddle. Excellent shot!
