Coca cola deck chair monopoly

All of the slope side decks at Val d'Isere are blanketed with these things... and eventually we are seduced into taking more breaks and more vistas.

One of the largest restaurants, Le Folle Douce, high on the mountain, puts on a big dance production in the afternoon, capturing hundreds of skiers with loud pumping music, flowing wine and champagne, and of course, live dancers. Meanwhile, small planes land and take off nearby and hang gliders, parasailers and ultralights cruise the skies overhead. 1000s of skiers and boarders complete the winter circus. And this is a light weekend crowd... the real craziness apparently starts tomorrow when all of Paris goes on spring break.
