Paris, France in 2007. A little street far from downtown, but with a view of the Eiffel Tower. The snow came from several ice rinks loaded into a refrigerated truck we rented. The most complicated part was driving through the tight roadways surrounding the French capital. Antoine Diet is the little brother of Thomas “Bichon” Diet, my first ski muse, and a true friend. Thomas died last year, leaving the French ski community mourning. Here, Antoine does a 180 over the stairs. “No pain, no gain,” as Bichon would have said.
