I had long wanted to fly into Courchevel - I wasn't
a pilot when I went skiing there but spent time staring at the littel Jodel's on
wheels with retractable skis and wondered what it took to do this - Now I am a
less competent skier (thanks to knees giving out) and hopefully a more competent
pilot I eventually decided to take the plunge and go to Courchevel for a couple
of weeks. As it turns out it was a bit too short to get my full mountain rating
(Areo Club des Trois Vallees recommends a month)
This is what Courchevel is like in October
