Check out Menton. Small and beautiful town on the coast, cheaper than Nice/Monaco etc. on the Franco-Italian border so easy access to the Ligurian coast. Also easy access to the Alpes Maritimes….

My exact feelings! Only 32 years for me - but I have zero interest in a mountain where the premier named attraction is “Apres Alley”

Crystal mountain skier for 30 years plus. I’m so pissed off with the deceptive marketing and the shit product they offer that I wont buy an Ikon next year….
