Easy-peasy. "Courchevel's airport also has a certain degree of infamy in the aviation industry..." 1,722 ft runway with a gradient of 18.5% at 6588 ft. altitude. This one's a little tricky too, though better than it used to be (they cut the trees we used to have to hop over on the 22-23 approach and added a few hundred feet of grass on the south end). http://www.vermontairports.com/post_mills.html -- nuts
