That's 114 feet... I told you it was a challenging approach.. 🙂

Na... I just cut and pasted the statement from the website... the correct
length is 535.

I'll try it tonight:

I wonder if this still works in FS9:

wow, that is challenging I think I might try that since it would be a nice
hop from my home airport of Rochester, England

Yeah awsome!
I see that it comes with skiers AND spotters!
Now that's what I call "as real as it gets" huh?

Hi Chris

Even better, once landed, find an excelent, OK, grotty hotel, book in
for a few weeks and ski to your heart's content.

I've been to Les Trois Vallees many times and have seen Courchevel's
strip. However, I have to admid that my mind was more on the skiing
and snow-mobiling than one the aircraft movements.

Of course, that was in my pre-FS days. However, the strip is quite
steep.

James
