Swapping Fins for Skis
After spending months surrounded by coral reefs and tropical sunshine, I found myself high in the French Alps — more precisely, in Courchevel, for the Alpine Ski World Championships 2023. I visited friends from Bigblue Divelights, who happened to be part of this snow-covered adventure.
What I Gained from the Mountains
This wasn’t just a casual visit. I got the chance to:
🎯 Learn a ton about major sports event logistics – a whole new world of coordination and precision.
Visiting friends from Bigblue Divelights in Courchevel, France, I had the opportunity to join the Alpine Ski World Championships there.
🏔️ Work at a bar at 2,235m altitude – yep, on top of the mountain!
⛷️ Slide (and sometimes survive) icy steep slopes – a serious upgrade to my snow skills.
🗣️ Practice my French daily – and not just in cafés, but with an international event crew.
🤝 Meet incredible people – from athletes to fellow volunteers to event staff.
