Wow. That Val d'Enfer one almost took out the lift shack -- close call. Nice smooth crown fracture line, too. The Chaudefour area looks sweet -- that Dent de la Rancune is wacky.

I gotta quit everything and move to France one of these days. I'm not very strong in French geography, but isn't this in the Massif Central, not the Alps? Wow x2.

man - insane. imagine going down the bunny hill and you turn around to see a five foot wall of snow coming at.

Yep, that's at the Sancy ski area of Le Mont Dore. Val d'Enfer is a cirque with a number of steep lines over it. We skied over some destroyed infrastructure there last month and wondered what caused it.

Now I know. :eek:
