he decelerated so much on the descend, he had to accelerate up the runway to get to the top :D well done!

Nicely done! Used to teach commercial maneuvers in that aircraft and it is not a very forgiving low speed bird. Approach to stall warning at a few feet above the runway in a controlled descent....you made it look easy through your professionalism. I imagine you were a tad quicker than the 60kt SL stall speed at touchdown at that elevation, but it is interesting to note the slope is so steep you had to power up to get off the runway! Nice video!

Pilot made that look easy. Nicely done. It's telling that he needed to use much less runway for the landing than he had available to him that he had to power up the runway to get to the tie-down area. Presumably lower elevation than Lukla airport in Nepal, and winter cold equals more favorable density altitude.

In fact Courchevel is among the easiest altiports to land on. With Alpe d'Huez and Megeve their hard surfaced runways, slopes and lengths are easy to handle with the proper technic. Many dirt runways (called avisurfaces) are much more challenging due to steepness, narrowness, rabbit and marmot dens. Also some have no flat parking areas so you need to park the aircraft perpendicular to the slope and secure the tail with rope and spike. Landing with ski-equipped aircraft on snow covered avisurfaces is another challenge (quality of the snow, white environment making height and distance difficult to assess and no brakes available). Crosswind makes the landing a lot trickier.

It's like a carrier landing....apply full power after landing! I wonder how often planes run out of energy before they get up the hill and need to be towed? Also wondering if a Mooney could get up the hill from a full stop?

yeah...that would be my only critical comment about this otherwise splendid landing on a challenging runway. Glider pilots who are power pilots (I am one) know all about planning for the engine to quit at the worst possible moment. Were this me here, l would have entered final much higher and side-slipped (extremely effective in powered planes)to scrub off the altitude. Of course, I offer this comment not knowing if a usable landing strip was available in glide-range lower in the valley.

In my Citabria, that is exactly what I would have done. Come in high, and side-slipped to land. However, not sure how effective side-slipping in the Mooney is, and there is no go-around option there (or so I've read).

I use to have a super decathlon that would be a fun a/c to fly in there without any problems.... The issue with upsloping runways pilots can get their visual cues mixed and think they are higher than they really are ultimately undershooting. Mooneys are not very forgiving when it come to slipping, especially with 4 ppl on board and that elevation. I have over 2000 hrs in all types of Mooneys. Great airplane with some limitations you don't want exceed.

Yep, exactly. The idea is that you land as slowly as possible. You throttle back and let it drop onto the runway just as the stall warning sounds. But why do I know - I'm just an fsx simmer ;-)

For those who may not be familiar, the runway slope increases at the touchdown zone . He would've increased the deck angle to prevent the propeller from striking the surface. That is most probably why the stall warning was audible.

+Carter Driggs I certainly would rely on him. His flat powered approach and lowest possible landing speed are perfect for this extremely challenging airfield. The stall warner should definitely be sounding all the way through the hold off, which it is - the whole point of a short field landing like this is to hold the aircraft 6 inches off the ground just above the stall, and only let it land when it runs out of airspeed so your landing speed is as low as possible. Perfect. (I'm a flying instructor)
