Where is the powder?

Post by **Rietzschel** » Saturday 28 January 2006, 10:15

Also nice to mention:

- Second week during X-mas Holiday: Avoriaz around 50-60 cm

- 1,5 weeks ago in Saalbach/Hinterglemm also 60 cm in 1 day and half of the night.

BTW Pistes in Hinterglemm have an very nice EC-character! Nice wide, pretty steep and well prepd pistes
Minus: around 10.30 pretty crowded, however, with a little patience you can have loads of fun

This is one to add to your list.

My in-laws sent us pictures from Japan a few weeks ago... most of the buildings were buried.
Sooo nice.

Wow! It's Canada in Europe!

For 2-3 weeks, we are getting tons of snow in the Swiss Alps! 1.50 meters in some areas last week, and 1 meter this week! Right now it's snowing, and the week-end is going to be wonderful again...

At Zinal it has snowed more than 1.20 meters for 2 weeks… only

One often gets less fresh snow in the center of the Alps, but in return one has more sun for riding the powder

with lower avalanche risks!

This time we did only the easy run straight down.
Do you mean the easy climb after the first section or the much more difficult run if you climb over the top of the Mont Fort?
The route over the Mont Fort is very steep.
I'm from Germany.

I love Kicking Horse! I have been there for freeriding in March 2005 (right in time with the snow falls, after a very bad season start).

But please

it's a secret resort
