Snow is falling, by jipsy on Nov 14, 2007 8:16:07 GMT 1, It's snowing right now in Munich.
We drove down to a glacier in Austria at the weekend but all the sodding lifts were closed due to the high wind level.
Might be a bumper year.

I looked into going to Bankso B.C (before child) as prices were very reasonable, not sure what they are like now. Maybe Rydal could fill us in??
Great pic btw

I was in Cham in March, snow was shite low down but was pretty good up high late on.
I've not been to Ferne yet, but done Whistler. Long Haul is defintly the way to go - Big empty wide pistes, no queues, great food and drink, cheap!
I'd be doing North America or Canada in a heartbeat!!

As for Cham ive been there when it had good snow and it was still crap, supposed to be the best place outside of Alaska, but didnt really find anything too challenging, just a load of hoorah henrys telling me how much their diamond encrusted rolex ski watch cost
America and Canada is definatly the way to go, ill happily never ride europe again. Lake Tahoe is the kiddie, end of.

Snow is falling, by dmandpenfold on Nov 14, 2007 16:06:23 GMT 1, I went to Andorra about 10 years ago, it was great fun, cheap as chips and had good snow in March. I went with a couple of mates, we took the ferry and drove all the way from Calais in my student Fiat runabout, awesome drive up the Pyrenees too. Would love to go again.
Sweden and Norway are great too if you're into cross country skiing, however they are just a bit more expensive and it doesnt stay light long this time of year.
Interestingly enough Australia was the most expensive place i have ever been skiing, they charge like a wounded bull, don't ever ski in the blue mountains if you're saving for a banksy...
