Les 3 Vallées: Jean Pachod, February 2024
For a week in February 2024, we travelled down to the French Alps for a week skiing in Les 3 Vallées, the world's largest interconnected ski area boasting 600 km of pistes and 183 lifts across the Saint-Bon, Allues, and Belleville valleys.
Midway down the blue run 'Creux', the Chanrossa chairlift whisks you up to the Col de Chanrossa at 2540m. Returning to the base of the same chairlift, the red run Jean Pachod might only be fairly short, yet still good fun.

    I went there first week of Jan 2024 as a beginner, didn't get to do that run as I fell awkwardly on day 2 on the Diable blue run and sort of twisted my left knee, and couldn't put much weight on it in the evening, so spent the remaining 4 days more or less in my room. As a Plan B as I'm now taking lessons at the snow dome in Manchester *IF* I decide to ever go back there, I'll be by then a seasoned skier with my own gear i.e. boots and ski's.

    Hello Ben Embling Owner, I saw your UA-cam channel, you upload very nice videos on your channel. I have watched all the videos and noticed that all the videos are beautiful. But your channel has many problems. If you don't fix the problem then your video will not get video views organically. Because the UA-cam algorithm works on key words, but there is no key word in your channel! Sir, if you do SEO completely then every video will get more views than the views you get sir. Doing SEO will help your video reach the right people and the views will increase constantly. If you want to do SEO on your channel, I can help. I am an SEO expert. Thank you, have a nice day

    Ireland is not a British Isle/Island. This is an outdated Imperialistic and Possesive term that is not recognised by the Irish Government nor by the Majority of Irish people living in Ireland.

    • @benembling4027
      @benembling4027 Рік тому

      I completely accept your comment, however in the context that we are talking about "British Isles" is a purely geographical term, it may be an outdated imperialistic term but it is geographically still correct. www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/whats-the-difference-between-uk-britain-and-british-isles

    • @condorone1501
      @condorone1501 Рік тому

      @benembling4027 No it is an outdated Geographical term similar to Yugoslavia. The term is not recognised by the Irish Government nor does the UK Government use the term when referring to the Island of Ireland since the signing of the Good Friday agreement. Ireland is a European Island not a British Island Geographically. I suggest you do a search of a map of Ireland and its Territorial waters and you will clearly see that Ireland can no longer be called a British Island since it regained its Independence and Territorial waters in 1922. If you still query this then please explain how Ireland is a British Island in geographical Terms. Ordinance survey UK is a private company not a Government. Also UK government papers are still using an outdated and racist term Negroid.

    • @benembling4027
      @benembling4027 Рік тому

      Yugoslavia was never a geographical term as it was a country, hence why you will find no reference to it anymore. Whilst I agree that it is an outdated term, it is still used, albeit less and less, in the context of this video, it refers to the geographical area, in the same way that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland), are politically no longer part of the European Union, they still sit within Europe. Similarly, North America refers to the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I completely accept that it is a subject that is up for debate, and I apologise for any distress caused. However, the term is still geographically correct. Although not politically correct.

    • @condorone1501
      @condorone1501 Рік тому

      @benembling4027 It's not Geographically correct. You haven't given an explanation as to how Ireland is a British Island Geographically. Ireland is a European Island not a British Island. Also Yugoslavia was a Geographical term Just like the Soviet Union, Prussia Bombay, Ceylon etc etc Geographical Terms have been changing constantly especially in the last one hundred years.

    • @benembling4027
      @benembling4027 Рік тому

      @@condorone1501 All the examples you have just quoted are not geograpical terms, they are all former countries or cities, and define political areas, in the context we are talking about here we are referring to geographical or physical location. I am absolutely not implying that Ireland is politically a British Island. With regards to being a European Island, yes, it absolutely is, as is the rest of the United Kingdom as it still physically sits within Europe. I will be leaving this matter now as I feel that we are just going around in circles, for the context of this video, the title was written as a direct quote from the marketing material for the cruise, all cruises encompassing the United Kingdom & Ireland are marketed as British Isles Cruises, with the exception being made of course to those that are exclusively around Ireland. I will be ammending the descrition of the video however.
