Final musings sitting in the CDG airport on the way home from Meribel. For an entire week I didn’t see one lift breakdown . They have 183 lifts of all shapes sizes and makes . While watching social media at home all I saw was lift break downs and missing ski days . The stat I read is that the Les 3 vallees system serves 265k people a day. We never waited more than 10 minutes . There are zero lifties. It takes some getting used to but everyone gets on the lift chaotically but fast .
The crazy thing for a first time European skier was the lack of safety. It really slowed me down knowing that if I were to wipe out at 50+ mph I could end up down a ravine and off a cliff . My 12 year old terrified me all week who is sowing his oats with speed trying to keep up with his 15 yr old brother . The sledding at night on the mountain would get an American mountain sued into the Stone Age. Everyone gets drunk and sleds on the mountain and it’s encouraged. Absolutely amazing .
The drinking in general on French mountains is 100100101x worse than American mountains . People staggering drunk trying to get down the hill. The lunches at Michelin star restaurants were mind blowing . I have no idea what we spent on food but it certainly negated the lift ticket savings .
The grooming blows away American mountains. Europeans never do first chair and if you could temper your apres you could get absolute corduroy perfection for an hour before a European showed their face .
There’s no roof rack on a hearse and my kids can skip college. I don’t think I can ski at Attitash in -10 ever again.
No one wears masks in Europe . First masks we’ve seen in a week in the Delta line coming home to Boston.
