Landing at Courchevel Airport France
Thump, you crack me up!
That snowbank you have to clear just before the threshold made me remember the 3 - 4 foot berm just off the end of the runway at turf soaring school where I learned to fly sailplanes - not nearly the pucker factor, but there were a couple times I cut it a little close for comfort.

Wow what a small world...I was at Courchevel for Christmas/New Year, and back out there on March 14th for 3 weeks (been going there for 13 years now).
The craziest thing also is that there is a green run that runs just under the end of the strip and is the main route back to 1650 from 1850. The amount of times I've been up on that bank pulling off a trick when a light aircraft comes off and it's scared the crap outta me lol
It's always great seeing the planes coming in and out when you're on the chair lift, must be a scary ass landing that's for sure.
