I swear they’re always doing the craziest shit in Avoriaz. And it looks like it was built by a Bond villain. I definitely want to visit one day.

I've been there in the summer, it's crazy beautiful but fucking heaving with tourists (obviously i was one as well but it really is very busy there). In fact the whole Morzine area is just wonderful. Now I just gotta plan a winter trip

It’s a cool place, no cars so they use horse carriages to get around. The pipe and park is pretty good. However the queues are the worst i’ve ever seen. The lift bases get swamped all day long

Avoriaz has such a fun park in the spring! Was having my best day of park skiing ever (first backies off park jumps, first switch 5's, lacing front 450s) then I tried a switch 3 off the second jump in the line and came up short and got shitwhipped and dislocated my shoulder :(

Absolutely insane string of mountains though, I love euro-style resorts that just connect a bunch of towns and have endless lifts

I was there the day they were filming I think. They towed him around with a skidoo for the takeoff. We were watching from the park and had no idea what was happening . Makes sense now!
