The city below is Cluses, France, which is located in the foothills of the French Alps. AndyK may be interested to know that the sister city of Cluses is Beaverton, Oregon. There's a sign about it when you enter the city.

From a snow commute this winter. The setup pictured worked well until the snow stacked up to 10" the next day. Then it was a ride the shoveled/plowed areas and walk the rest.
