All the Europe pics kinda took a while to get sorted and up on the blog. Apologies! The last few days in Chamonix were devoted to watching Marco race at Les Houches aka, "the houchies". It is the more mellow ski area in the Chamonix valley and a really cool place to see a race. Rena and Lizzdogger in Les Houches, the town.
We got there early and stayed late every day soaking in the atmosphere.
The Marco Rocks Fan Club, cold, but ready to rock.
Ski racing fans in Europe know how to throw down.
Yep, they are related.
The pastries in Chamonix were out of control.
French knee brace models?
Reason #24 that Europe is cool in the winter......, spiced/hot wine! Vin Chaud is awesome, and even more cool if it is portable and strapped so someones back.
Rolfe about ready to disect Didier Cuche's run with him over a Vin Chaud.
The bottom end of the race course looking up valley toward Chamonix.
The last morning we were there the sun came out and gave us the first unobstructed views of the valley. This was the little alley we would walk up to our chalet from town center. In the background is the top of Brevent ski area.
Best snowmobile I saw the whole time in Europe!
Europe had one of the biggest cold snaps in recent history when we were there. It felt like being in Jackson.
Tram that we had ridden earlier in the week at Brevent. It was a white out when we were up there so we didnt have a ton of perspective as to how badass the lift was. It lets you off right on the top of that massive cliff.
My good bud "Porc" and his girlfriend Victoria came down from Sweden for the weekend to hang out, ski, and watch Marco. Awesome seeing them. Also, scope the fur jacket on the lady in the background. Wow. Can't teach that.
