ChrisC Good stuff, thanks for all that. Forget off-piste guides, is there anywhere to hire a EU rules and regs guide? :lol:

I've never been; and not knowing has led me to skew being over prepared vs. assuming that there won't be anyone asking for documents. After all the reading and such, It seems pretty straight forward at this point, but I'm here to tell ya, Ive had more than one client of mine (as recently as a...

So I got to thinking about this the past few days. The issue of crossing a border in the time of CV19 and in the case of being near 3 countries and contending with entering one for a few days and then another a few days later....not to mention a border crossing ON SKIS. This is adding up to be...

So onto this: Accommodations; and the general sentiment on how anyone has tackled this since the consensus is to hold fast til one knows a general direction once travel gets closer. Question is, how do have you whom have been there work this? I definitely know 1/2 board is the thing, I am more...

Good point Tony. Less factors to muddle ones plan is great advice. Ill add this is my first time to EU and I'm as excited to just experience it as I am to ski it. Some of this is re-programming how one plans and ranks priorities and expectations after only skiing in NA. Here my mind is snow...

This post keeps drawing my mind back to this area.. Progress Report: Booked GVA for Jan28-Feb7. Choose it at the time over ZRH due to the stated 7 hours layover on the way home...of course the day after I booked for Geneva the Zurich return changed to only a 2 hr layover. Zurich is still...

I've definitely taken that into consideration. At the same time I'm not necessarily opposed to a stop...I'm in Madison so it comes with the territory usually no matter where you go... the usual debate ensures when you live here: 2 hrs drive-park-deal with everything ORD to get a non-stop or pay...

I just called United about this the other day and they said 70$, although I've not been completely trusting on information from such places as of late. Swiss Air does appear to allow the 1 free as you state. (I havent verified it) The comedy being it said "Swiss Air, Operated by United" Go...

Perfect. Good.

Hey all...a follow up to add into this entire conversation of logistics and such which something I havent seen a lot of fodder on... What is everyones sentiments or real-world experience with either taking or renting skis. The preface: I'm in the mini-van category of skis, Pinnacle 88 / Kastle...

Point taken and guilty as charged. However, it is fun to dream it all up in your minds eye though. Conditions and gateway will ultimetely rule the day...and dare I suggest...looming travel restrictions. 8-[

Hey James, actually thanks FOR adding this. I've been meaning to post to you about this very thing....unknown (largely) places near GVA that would be akin to the places you listed for ZHR that could be nice diversions away from industrial and good bail outs on bad vision days. I've been leaning...

Yeah, enough on the airports, its definitely something to consider but not worth dissecting into dust....However on a funny note, the decision might have been made for me if I was one to listen to "sighs". I stumbled into an antiques store today to burn a few minutes and happened across this...

Was this something you have a link to? I am unable to find it. It would be interesting to read the merits off both from you guys. At this point they seem like almost a coin-flip based on this thread. I do like the multiple climate zone aspects of GVA as Fraser points out if we're talking...

@Jamesdeluxe ....So in terms of being the remaining guys seeking these type of places, does that make us geniuses or simply stubborn contrarians? ;) Anyway, man..choices, choices; this posting is awesome, I like it and thank you for the effort and insight on this. Lots to delve into here and I...

Tony thanks for the links! They are great. Ill being the process and surely be asking more specifics, but this is a good starting point and all stuff I want to put in the hopper. James I really look forward to seeing what ya got, I like that we're on the same wavelength there. I knew I'd have...

Hello all. I have been reading thru some of the posts about skiing in Europe and it seems there are a few in here with excellent knowledge on it. I wonder if you wouldn’t mind helping a guy out a bit. I am beginning to pour over my first trip to EU for skiing and have found the amount of...

Would someone post a link to the Loveland Pass with the partner resorts?

Speaking fo Brundage and the Boise area... I never see much about Tamarack; and since Brundage is definitely in the mix for this conversation, has anyone ever been there? They also appear to fit the bill for some of these conditions..small, remote, good snow and a few express chairs of all...
