    International (Europe/Japan/Southern Hemisphere) Austria vs North America

Looking at trail maps, it seems that "reds" in Austria are even more prevalent than "blues" in NA, to the point where some areas...

    2 meter dump in Switzerland and Northern Italy

    Resorts like Verbier are opening some slopes, some resorts say this the earliest they have ever opened. Could be another magnificent snow year in Europe.

    International (Europe/Japan/Southern Hemisphere) Mostly on-piste EU village to village safari

    I am thrilled to report that my wife is amenable to doing a European inn to inn, village to village, ski safari (I think is the term) with me. France much preferred. Italy ok. A week. I'm thinking perhaps two nights in each village, perhaps one night at very small ones that are layovers She is...

    International (Europe/Japan/Southern Hemisphere) Ski trip to the Alps worth it from North America?

    I have been thinking that it would be fun to meet European friends for a ski trip in the Alps. I have visited Austria several times and the Italian Dolomites twice, all in summer, and really enjoyed the scenery, the culture, the alm huts etc. On the other hand, skiing is so condition dependent...

    La Grave

    Has anyone skied here? It's #1 on my bucket list along with nearby Chamonix, although there's not much information on it. I've heard that it's imperative to ski with a guide so that you don't end up in a crevasse, and there is some mountaineering involved, but that the skiing is legit. On a...
