The Black Bear 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi there I live in Scotland and so have been to the few small places round here for most of my adult life - and been skiing in Canada, France, Austria and Italy as well. There seem to be a whole big bunch of nationalities on here, interested to know where you've been and where you rate, etc? BB Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I've only been in Japan. But I'm really curious to know about those Scottish places though, as people keep asking me. How many runs do they have (like, can you have enough fun there for a day, or are they a half-day sort of scale)? Do they ever get deep snow? Link to post Share on other sites
sweetaz 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Been a bunch of places.... Austria, Switzerland, France, Lake Placid-US, NZ and round "home sweet home"- Lake Louise/Banff Canada It's hard to pick a fav, as I tend to rank them not only on snow/ski quality but on atmosphere... That being the case I think my fondest memories come from switzerland...both for quantity of snow and atmosphere/beauty. I think Banff offers pretty wicked apres ski...and of course amazing riding...with several resorts to choose from within a 1hr radius. Would love to hear about the Scottish hills...?

Fattwins 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Canada, US, And here. Japan ranks pretty high for powder stashes. In the future I really think that youll see more big mountain riding here in the Japanese alps so many biglines. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Only Canada, US and Japan so far. In the future I want to add Argentina, NZ, Europe, Russia and many others. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Some people have gone back, but its always quiet in August (take a look at the threads from last year if you're that interested). Not difficult to understand why - lots of people out of the country, hot and sweaty, holidays, etc... Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Go away summer!...'holds breath, counts to ten with eyes closed whilst visualizing chasing kamoshikas in fresh powder'...naah still hot but not long now. There is some hope in September after all. Anyway now that I remember what the thread was about: NZ, Switzerland, Austria and Japan. Switzerland would be the best memories.
