Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. I just got back from Val D'Isere yesterday. I've skied most of the western US and Canadian resorts and thought I'd offer some insights that might help someone out there. Took 7 hrs there and 4. Due entirely to traffic, not weather. We were told in the future to avoid Saturday transfers. But the return was on Friday and still was bad. Getting one's hands around Val takes a day or two. Compared to North American resorts this place is huge, at least in terms of space. I think I remember there being about 50 lifts. The views are spectacular and we were treated to two days of them as the skies were clear for the first part of our six days of skiing. Val and Tigne are now basically one resort but getting from one area to the other takes effort. Also, people should be aware that while there is a free bus that links all the base areas of Val D'Isere it does not go to Tigne. After two days of sun we then had 3 days of snow, the first day of which shut down the whole place, apart from Le Fornet. Which was actually a blessing as it turned out to be fantastic skiing, and uncrowded, as it seems most of the French like to stick to the groomed runs. Another adjustment is the apparent lack of avalanche control on the off piste in-bounds areas. I guess that's why everyone riding the gondola to Le Fornet had backpacks and ave gear. In the US and Canada there seems to be good control of the off piste in-bound areas. Not at Val. I'm guessing this a general European thing. After the storm we had great conditions, with plenty of powder in the huge bowls up high. So overall would I as a North American travel to Europe again to ski? Probably not. It isn't that the skiing was bad. It actually was quite good. And the food was really good. The concerns we had about treated poorly by the French were, happily, unwarranted. It's just that while Val is enormous, for a skier who avoids the groomed pistes, the available terrain didn't seem enormous. And I like tree skiing, but the tree line is much lower in Europe than in NA. North American skiers should be aware of French school vacations. It was kind of crowded during our trip and our guide we had one for a day and were happy for it told us the best time to come to Val to avoid crowds is late January. Anyway, maybe my observations will help someone out there. If you have questions about US resorts let me know. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Interesting insight. BTW there is no such thing as inbound off piste in Europe. Very different to north America. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Quote: North American skiers should be aware of French school vacations Everybody should be aware of French school vacations! A shame you didn't come here earlier, aschriber a belated welcome And it sounds as though you might have caught the British half term holiday, too. Also, there is no such thing as an 'off piste in-bounds area'. In most of Europe you're either on piste, or off piste. Many insurance policies will not insure you if you go off piste without a guide. Glad the food - and the French - were good though! You need to Login to know who's really who. Avalanche control is generally only done to protect the pistes. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. Must say you were very unlucky with your transfer you must have been peak time. French school holidays it can be hectic though. You'll need to Register first of course. Verbier, Serre Chevalier, and Schladming are the only good resorts in Western Europe for tree skiing. You have to work hard to find the best offpiste in Val d'Isere. If you want easy-access slackcountry, you will need to go to Verbier in Switzerland. If you want steep backcountry, go to Chamonix or Verbier. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports Thanks aschriber and welcome to Snowheads. Val d'Isere is my favourite resort but it can be difficult to travel there. One year the road was closed and I had to spend a night on the floor of a sports centre in Bourg. After all it is free. Nice report, aschriber , and, as someone who skis both sides of the Atlantic, a fair summary of how I would describe Val to a North American. To access the best off piste in Val, you really need a guide. Do that, and you'll be introduced to some amazing stuff that rivals the best of North American skiing. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Quote: To access the best off piste in Val, you really need a guide. I think that's his point, off-piste skiing in Europe is far less accessible. Go to any North American resort and you don't need a guide, avalanche safety equipment, or any kind of knowledge and you can be skiing all types of terrain no problems. Ski the Net with snowHeads.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. I think treeline is the number one difference between NA and the Alps. In NA most skiing is below; in the Alps most is above. And of the forests, many more of them are closed to skiing than in NA. Here in the Northwest, skiing trees is routine. You did pick a great area that is not easy to get to. A little more homework on the front end would have made for a better outcome. This is a good place to do it. You know it makes sense. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Shame you only hit on snowheads after the fact, you would have been better informed for sure. Oh and ignore everything Whitegold says. He's our village idiot, every forum has one I guess. Family of four - me and the wife , and two kids now aged 13 and All capable skiers but my wife prefers to be in a ski school as she feels safer and it saves family fall outs. Although a guided ski group would work fine for her so long as it remains on piste some gentle off the side of the piste is OK Me and the kids happy to be shown around for a few days so somewhere with free guiding? Would not be too keen on having to travel around too much i. No lift queues So we have things to do if weather is bad - of my wife wants an afternoon potter about. Might be thinking of Christmas could head out around 15thth December maybe and do ten days or 19th 20th for a week. Then tied really to EU school hols - so 13th Feb for one week and 2nd April for up to two weeks. But wanting to avoid busy times. I did look into Aspen last year - that seemed to tick a lot of boxes. Heard good and bad things about Whistler too popular for its own good? Lake Louise has potential to be very cold? Several US resorts do free 'Meet the Mountain' introductory tours, usually in the mornings, where locals often reired senior citizens volunteer to show people around the slopes they get a free ski pass in return. This report will be more helpful for north American than for Europeans. Quote: It's just that while Val is enormous, for a skier who avoids the groomed pistes, the available terrain didn't seem enormous. Basically, you picked the wrong resort for your type of skiing, and went at the wrong time of the season. Quote: Another adjustment is the apparent lack of avalanche control on the off piste in-bounds areas. Many others blissfully went off-piste without realizing the danger they put themselves into. A few didn't live to regret it. As you said, the area is huge, can you imagine what it would take to control all the in bounds terrain? You'd have to bring NATO in to do it after a storm. There are the 'naturides' if you like neither pistes nor avaalnches. If proper off-piste in Europe is your thing, mountain guides will make sure you find the best bits and there is plenty of awesome off-piste stuff in Val , but you need all the correct avi gear and knowledge of how to use it. You should definitely give St Anton, Chamonix, and Paradiski a pop in the future. As has been said you really must have a mountain guide to access the best off-piste and back-country. The Canadian and American skiers I have skied with off-piste in the alps say you cannot even compare the terrain in the alps to that in NA. They told me not to bother skiing in NA - which is a bit harsh really. I had a great time in both Banff and Whistler, but they did feel incredibly small to me - the hell-skiing was very enjoyable and the main reason that I crossed the pond. Alaska looks incredible, but my NA friends warned me that I could well spend two very expensive weeks grounded. If off-piste is your thing then you really should return and hire a guide or go with a guided group for a week or two. An interesting read. The decent snow level has risen up above the tree line for much of France for much of recent seasons. Austria is generally lower but further East so gets lower snow. Lots if decent tree skiing there. Both areas have enough skiing to keep a family occupied for a week, and have sizeable base towns for apres ski or even a day off the slopes. Whistler has enough ski terrain as well but I probably wouldn't go there so early in the season as its elevation is lower and there'd be a better chance of poor snow conditions. Aspen is a reasonable alternative but is hard and expensive to get to and expensive once you are there! Vail and Park City are a little different. Vail is about a two hour drive from Denver. There are non-stop flights from London direct to Denver but the drive to Vail is two hours from Denver and it can be a trying drive and occasionally the highway is closed to avalanche risk and often there is traffic. Park City is very convenient to get to as it's only a 45 min drive from Salt Lake City airport, on a highway that never closes. But I don't think there are any non-stop flights to Europe to SLC, and honestly SLC doesn't have the cultural activities that Denver offers although both cities have great Mexican food! Vail is a little higher in elevation than Park City and thus a bit colder. Vail, being in Colorado, offers recreational marijuana but on a family ski trip that may not change the equation much! You mention wanting to avoid lift lines. I doubt you can do that entirely over the Christmas vacation anywhere as that is a popular time to ski in the US as it is in Europe. If uncrowded lifts and a pleasant ski town are primary goals I'd consider a place like Sun Valley, Idaho. Very upscale, has a very pleasant town with an authentic vibe, great skiing, but it's a challenge getting there 4. Let me know if I can help further. Oh and I doubt you will find any resort in North America that has free guided skiing. Most places will have personnel on the slopes you can ask questions of, however. And you will find that all resorts have very organized trail signage. A fantastic learning opportunity. Interesting perspective. As someone who lives in the US but prefers to ski in Europe, I appreciate the lower tree line. I love big open bowls, lots of beautiful white snow as far as the eye can see. The views in Europe are unparalleled as is the food. That said, yes, to get the most out of going off piste, you need a guide Best money I've ever spent. Lots of places do - though the guiding is very much an orientation and I've heard that many places have a policy of not taking guests on ungroomed runs some hosts can however be persuaded on a I'm going to ski here but I'm not guiding you basis. But wanting to avoid busy time' US schools don't have half term. They have spring break, and typically that is sometime in March. So, one way for someone from the UK to avoid half term crowds is to come to North America. We have Presidents' Day weekend holiday on Monday that will frequently intersect with half term, but that's just a weekend. As for where, I'd say Aspen would have the most for your wife to do, but is probably a bit more expensive to get to and enjoy. Park City would be 2nd best for her, and Vail 3rd. However, I would probably ranking my preference of skiing in the those 3 as Vail, then Aspen, then Park City. Any of the 3 would be a good option, however, so I would just choose the one that offered the logistics and price that work best for you and go there. OP as mentioned, shame you didn't research or find the site ahead of your visit in order to know more about both the european holidays and off piste situation - sounds like you could have avoided the crowds and spent time with a guide to get more out of your long journey. Intrigued as to why you would think that the French would treat you poorly? But seems an odd statement to make? Had you been before or heard stories?

They also like a few beers with you afterwards and to steal your spicy wings!! Mosha Marc wrote: Dave of the Marmottes wrote: aschriber wrote: Oh and I doubt you will find any resort in North America that has free guided skiing. I think we need to be clear on the difference between 'Mountain Host' and 'Guide'. A mountain host is a member of the resort staff often retired and doing the job in exchange for free lift pass who is allowed to show you around the resort and can take you anywhere inbounds again North American concept that is open depending on ability etc. A Guide is a UIAGM certification that means they can take you anywhere that they think is safe from an avalanche and conditions perspective. In North America that means outside of the resort boundaries and in Europe that means off-piste. They certainly aren't free as it's a highly skilled job that take years of certification. I really enjoyed skiing with the mountain hosts in Fernie, which is a proper ski town where some of the local businesses close down on a powder day. The closest translation of the US term 'Off-piste, in-bounds' in Europe is 'Off-piste, outside nature reserves'. In other words if you're in a nature reserve, not only are you off-piste, but you're also out of bounds. But sure, nothing is officially protected off-piste, even if a lot of it may enjoy incidental protection as a consequence of piste proximity. Having spent a week in Jackson Hole Teton village , as a European, it was really wacky to have an entire mountain area designated as freely skiable pretty much free of treacherous hazards - and the knowledge that there was no possibility of accidentally skiing below uplift. Also known in some places as 'itineraries', although as this article shows there is a variation between countries which use the term as to whether this means they are evaluated as safe from avalanche risk or avalanche secured.
