Hi jo,
i board mainly in France to be honest - sometimes venture other European destinations like Italy, Switzerland - but usualy france.
Avoriaz is a great resort as the porte de soleil area is on the border of france / switzerland. its great being under the sign looking at 2 different ways down the mountain thinking - ill be in a different country if i go that way :)
hows your season going ? if its a recent pic on your profile, looke a hell of a lot better than Europe. ive got some friends living in Seattle - so im definately considering your neck of the woods next year - if ive got the cash.
