It's All in How You Sell It

This NYTimes travel article on Chamonix concentrated on things we were not really into, such as the night scene and my lost chance at going headlong down a glacier. Having read it, though, I'm glad that Dara was not aware that Jon Krakauer (of Into Thin Air fame) called Chamonix the "death-sport capital of the world." That would have been a much harder sell than a romantic snowboarding trip.
