Skiing FINKENBERG, Here's WHAT I FOUND

[@BramskiVlogs]

Finkenberg is a ski resort deep in the Zillertal Alps of Austria. The terrain connects with the tux area at the top of the valley revealing stunning sights of the Hintertux glacier. The resort is often overshadowed by the well known neighbour; Mayrhofen. However skiing Finkenberg for the first time felt so natural.

Kind of reminds me of Sunshine village. Wide open! I'm so used to tight runs and trees at Revy. You rode rite out of winter and into spring at the end. Maybe next year I'll make a tour of another continent. I have my immediate family all in NZ, a brother in Australia, and parents in Thailand. I'm the last man standing here in the great white north.

I can see that, although not as cold as Sunshine that's certain! It looks that way right, although I'm glade I rode into some alpine sun. We don't see much of that in Revy. I'd highly recommend it, one place that has great terrain in Austria is Fieberbrunn - its on the free ride world tour circuit - and is on my list of to do's some other time. Skiing in NZ/Australia would be something different!

@@BramskiVlogs I don't how good the snow is in NZ? But it will most likely where I ride first when going to visit family next year. My wife's family is from Switzerland, so there very well could be a good chance of getting to the alps in the near future aswell. But Austria has definitely been on my list since I was a teen. For some reason I've always been drawn to Innsbruck.

Love that you get t-bar worries as well… I’d never choose one over a chair 😂

You weren't there man (in a Vietnam voice) 🤣 traumatic experiences aren't they

I’m watching it now and will probably watch it in full later in this year. Great job bringing the views of these mountains for us. Im doing Red-Whitewater-Baker this week. So that’s a bit south to ur territory. I think snow condition will be not the best but I’m happy to just try new places. Sometimes you get good weather sometimes you don’t. Just make the best out of it. You know what’s funny haha. These European lifts look like a bench for Premier league soccer player compared to North American’s haha. Don’t worry about view counts. You are on the right path. Just have to stay consistent. These fans will keep liking and commenting on your videos and watch it. That will get the snowball rolling.

Thanks, I can understand why Europe isn't on the radar for a lot of Canadians/Americans. But the alps are an amazing destination. Let me know your thoughts on Red and Whitewater! As for Europe's lifts yes it's like sitting in a sports car; leather seats, heated, with covers and high-speed. The Swiss and Austrians know how to do efficiency. As for the views, yeah it's a big change...but I'm keen to learn from it from a content perspective. It makes sense though considering I've spent 2 and half years making Revelstoke only content.

Views look stunning but wouldn't consider it, looks too mellow and not enough pow or glades. Pls get us some good footage of glades in Austria!

[@BramskiVlogs]

Finkenberg definitely didn't have the steepest terrain. Unfortunately Europe is not known for its glade/tree skiing. There are a few reasons for this, 1) a lot of the resorts have most of the skiing around 2000m where not much vegetation grows, 2) snow at lower elevations doesn't hold as well in Europe as it might to in BC, Canada 3) Especially in Austria/Switzerland the ski hills are not exclusively run by resorts, the land is most likely owned by local farmers so when the snows melt the cattle and sheep free roam the mountain. Not too many bears to worry about! Point being that alot of the mountain is almost meadow like. You have a lot more restaurants, hiking huts, farmers sheds across the mountain so its much less wild than parts of Canada and so glading is not required.
