Champéry

He's super strong.

He's, um, like, he can be on the podium on a track like Champery, and then, uh, a flatter track like this, be right in the mix as well.

So he's a very young rider, has a lot of potential to continue to improve, and look forward to seeing big things from him in the next season.

Me too.

To the east, you are connected to Châtel.

And to the south, you can ski straight over the peaks into the Swiss resorts of Champéry, Les Crosets, Morgins, and Champoussin.

Because of its height, it gets the absolute best, most consistent snow cover in the entire domain.

Even if the lower valley resorts are struggling for snow in late April, Avoriaz is almost always fully open and snow sure.

I was, um, I was devastated.

It was, like, so unfair, you know? Like, I was like, "Why? Why?" And then the same year, like, few weeks before in Champéry, like, we had some fork issues that we never have in testing the whole, my whole time in my life, and then I end up, like, I had to crash.

Like, I was just thinking it could go, but I had to crash, you know, it wasn't working so well.

So, like, the two deci- decisive moments of the season, things go opposite my way.
