Should be : "Freeride paradise where the locals never leave the piste"

Ah, you see, that's useful to know. But it's a good thing it's not advertised!

Why is everything in Austria either a "Ski Circus" or a "Snow El Dorado"? Neither of which actually make a whole lot of sense, if you think about it.

skiking4, Depends on what you're measuring. It is, I believe, the largest linked area, in that you can ski it all without removing your skis. The Porte du Soleil, for example, has a larger area covered by a single lift pass, but you need to take a bus (or walk) for some of the links.

stevomcd, I don't think so. For a start, I think an "espace" is masculine. "Le plus grand domaine" maybe?

not quite what you're looking for but Prestwick Airport's 'Pure Dead Brilliant' has got to be the worst I've seen. Basically they're saying 'Welcome to Rab C Nesbitland'  |
I've just noticed this.
I totally agree - its embarrassing.

Keeping with airports, Liverpool John Lennon Airport - Above Us Only Sky (TM) goes a bit over the top with the whole Beatles theme.
And why does an airport need a tagline, anyway?

"Okemo and Killington both suck..you have to go more north in VT if u want to ride decent snow.. but SRATTON Mnt. is were it's at in the east!"
