Only my French countrymen would do this: For a third year in a row, at La Plagne ski resort, organize a slalom competition in one run, covering a vertical drop of 2,625 feet, using 320 poles and taking more than 4 minutes 30 second to run for the men's winner, this time the up and coming French Slalom star, Clément Noël.
This race, the brainchild of French Team member Julien Lizeroux in cahoot with Julien Régnier a former mogul skier, attracted 470 competitors, all of them French, except for a handful of Swiss participants.
Only one run with costumes encouraged, loads of fun, no DQ that I could see, just a few DNF, and all in all, a great day of fun. We ought to have the same in America!
