Nope, it's above the tree line, there are a few around resort, but on the whole it's pretty barren.  It's in a valley 11mlies long, at at the bottom there are trees, and in the valley over, which is like two lifts from my house.  We have cliffs instead of trees!

love it!

I so wish i did a season - but then again university is fucking balling! im going with my university's ski club to Val Thorens in easter some time - well excited -

going to Espace Killy in 18 days with the club as well! Sooo stoked!

Malaysia is such a fucking sick club - but it is way too expensive - its like 8 euros for a drink - i can't afford that!

Its such a good place to go

the lower slopes around meribel can get pretty busy, but its such a massive ski area that you can just go wherever you want - there are plenty of parks about - but no way near as well as maintained as the US parks - its so sick and its really high as well - higher than the tree line in most parts ( and that means steep!)

Only downside is that the lifts lines can get busy and there seems to be a very high level of rudeness that you don't really see on US hills

French chicks are hot!
