I’m from NY and been skiing all my life - going to Europe for the first time. Super excited!
Can anyone share their experience at St Anton and what I could expect? We’re flying into Zurich and taking the train down to St Anton, staying in an Airbnb 15 mins away from the mountain.

I know I’m going at the busiest time of the year but it’s the only time I can go. I’ve been to tons of New York and Vermont mountains during busy season, will the crowds be worse than that?
Also what kind of snow quality to expect in comparison to New York/Vermont?
How is the apres ski at the base of the mountain?

Any tips or insight on what to expect is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Every winter it’s the same story for me: ten tabs open between the resort’s booking site, Booking and Airbnb, and still no clue whether the apartment is 50 m or 1 km from the first chairlift, or whether the resort sits high enough to be sure of getting snow, and so on.

So I put together Skitrack in my spare time. It was supposed to be a personal tool to organise my own trips with friends, and then it got a bit out of hand...

How it works:

• you filter the resorts you’re interested in, then compare them side by side
• for each resort, listings are pulled from the official booking sites (the France Montagnes list, so 91 ski areas) as well as from Booking, Airbnb, Abritel, GreenGo, Gîtes de France...
• each listing shows the number of bedrooms, how many people it sleeps and the distance to the nearest operating lift (when the exact location is known; otherwise you get an approximate distance)
• a shared shortlist, like a wishlist, so a group can make up its mind before booking

It obviously works for France (I’m French, as you may have guessed), but it also covers every resort in Europe, Switzerland, Italy and Austria included of course.

It’s a personal project, still rough around the edges, which is exactly why I’m posting here:

1. When you’re looking for ski accommodation, what information do you miss the most?
2. When choosing between two resorts, what do you actually compare?
3. If you try it and something breaks, tell me, don’t hold back.

Thanks in advance for your feedback, and have a great season everyone!

Comment économiser sur les forfaits de ski ?

My husband and I are looking to do a ski trip in Europe this January. He has never been to Europe, so I am hoping to have a good mix of sight seeing, enjoying new cultures, and skiing. 

I have planned two separate trips: 

Option 1: Zermatt and Chamonix 

Option 2: Venice-Dolomites 

Has anyone been to these ski areas and can advise, please? 

We are from Utah, and are very comfortable skiing (blues, blacks in US) on piste, and do some off piste (mainly just skiing in the trees). 

Any thoughts and/or advice welcomed and appreciated!

Thank you! 

Hello, I was looking for a pair of used ski since I’m an international student abroad.
I usually snowboard but I decided to become also good at skiing.
I’m 180cm and 93kg in weight and I have very strong core and legs from rugby.
I found this super good offer for a pair of barely new RC4. The problem is that they are 180cm
Is it worth it?
That comes also with bindings

I’m looking for a well rated, not too expansive, nice looking helmet. I do lots of park and am looking for the steeziest helmet out there.

Vector Glide Camel Hump Pro!! Getting serious about bump skiing this season.

What’s up I’m looking to buy new gear, here is what u want to buy is it any good? Also that’s the jacked for the saison you think combo will be good ?

Where do you think is a solid idea for this year, somewhere in the US? Somewhere that should have great snow coverage, at least projected, and nice amenities and an interesting town or other views?

Thanks in advance.

Should I get the faction prodigy’s 1 or 2??? The 2027 prodigy 1 capsule graphics are sickkk and so pretty. but i dont mainly do rails or only park. i know the prodigy 2 can do a bit of park and all mountain. which should i get if i mainly want a versatile ski that can still hit some jumps. i love the graphics on the prodigy 1 but can it still be versatile and good overall ski, or should i just get the prodigy 2s since they’re more geared to all mountain?
