A
Tale of Two Ski Areas: The French Alps and the US Rockies
by
Flo Conner
Skiers
come in all shapes, sizes and abilities. Luckily, so do the resorts
that make up the vast ski areas of the American Rockies and the
French Alps. Want to ski from daylight to midnight? No problem.
Or shop till you drop? You can wipe out your credit card limit
without carving a single turn. How about a different outdoor activity
for every day of the week? It’s a no-brainer when you plan a trip
to either the Rockies or the Alps.

The
Trois Vallées
by
Charles Leocha
Great
snow, never-ending trails, fantastic mountains, storybook villages,
the price is right and the French Alps are easy to reach. In liftlines,
cafes and boutiques, a smile and a “Bonjour, comment t’allez vous,”
is the common greeting. Vin du table is the drink of choice for
lunch and various plats du jour fill tables around crackling fireplaces
or on spreading decks in the mountain sun.
