I took this while snowboarding in Val Claret France, one of 3 villiages that make up Tignes France. The resorts of Tignes, are renowned for some of the most extensive and challenging skiing in Europe, as well as its unbeatable snow record.

Val Claret at 2100m has a superb position right at the foot of the Grande Motte funicular and the main ski lifts. The highest lift service here stands at 11715 ft.

Wow this photo is stunning, it's hard to get a perspective until you see the very tiny sky trails on the left. It must have been awesome to snowboard down these! Excellent photo!

Lovely shot. Made me resolve to try and see it in Winter.

Hi Julie, and happy new year !
