Sainte Foy Trentaise, France, Report: A 2,500-Acre Underground Freeride Paradise Report from Friday the 13th of February, 2026 Sainte-Foy Tarentaise is a small ski resort. At least by European standards. It’s only about 2,500 acres, roughly the same size as Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Our new French friend Eric told us we had to go to Sainte-Foy. So we did. What we found was an unknown freeride paradise. Just four chairlifts. […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 16, 2026 0 Comments
Les Arcs, France, Report: House Hucking + 3,760′ Tree Runs In Deep Powder Snow Report from Valentine’s Day, 2026 I was very excited to ski Les Arcs while here in France.

Les 3 Vallées, France, Report: Who Knew European Tree Skiing Could Be This Good!? Report from February 12, 2026 Deep. Not much else needs to be said. Oh, and 5/5 (Extreme) avalanche danger.
