BEST SKI RESORT!? IN EUROPE

[@johnbradley1586]

I've ski'd 186 resorts worldwide ( America , Canada , Japan , Australia & New Zealand ) , including 112 in The Alps. I've ski'd all of those big name resorts you mentioned. And spent a full season as a guide in the 3 Valleys. My criteria for the best resort is now all about where I can find un-tracked snow on a powder day , or cruise groomers without constantly checking to see if someone might run into me. In other words , the quieter , less known resorts. Europe has plenty of these. The friend I have ski'd most of those resorts with has a motto ... " if most people have heard of it , we probably shouldn't go ". Other people want night life and mountain restaurants etc. That's great for them. They'd be bored travelling with us. p.s. good , thoughtfull video. Thanks.

Wow, impressive experience. I totally agree with the motto :). Climate change and the lack of snow at lower elevations certainly make less-known resorts the most attractive nowadays, because the popular ones become jam-packed even more.

@@rdaugiala Exactly , We were in France and Austria this past January. The snow turned hard after warming and everyone headed for the highest skiing. At the big resorts that meant very big crowds. It's the new normal.
