Terrain Drain Trip Review

Chamonix 2000 France
Submitted By: ManiaK

Overall impression of the riding: The riding is great, but beginners beware, although there are beginner slopes each of the mountains has hard trails one can stumble on. For all you extreme nuts, there are awasome off piste trails, and you can usually find powder or some big mountain runs between trees and rocks because if the hangover from the previous night of partying does not kill ya The morons on the lift lines might. The French are rude and nasty, they will step all over your boards and push through like a heard of animals. They dont like Americans, but they are scared of us, and guys your chances of bagging a French girl are slim unless you know French. But you can get lucky with some Sweedish or Italian or Swiss babes. Riding and nightlife are great but after a week of dealing with those rude French I was ready to sit in a French jail for aggrivated assult. Beware!!!!
