80cm powder in central Switzerland
We received around 80cm of powder two weeks ago in Central Switzerland, too. Between Andermatt and Engelberg there have been proper powder conditions for couple days. Sadly last week it was all cooked by heat and wind, but we were able to manage two days on the Krönten (alpine skitour) with the local mountain guides Bureau Exped Tribe close to Andermatt. I´d recommend the tour if you´re into powder-steep-fast!
Pray for snow!

Cheers. It’s an incredible place - a huge cauldron surrounded by 4500m peaks and hanging glaciers
A few more pics:

The view is just spectacular

Epic corn up north! Needed to walk only 150 vertical to reach snowline. About 1100 vertical meters of awesomeness.

Hey guys!
One of my really good buddies here has a globe trotting son, who's a great kid. Well 26 yrs old, so perhaps young man is the term.. anyway, he's educated (Enviro engineer) and a talented athlete. He's also dating sam smoothy's ex so I give him high marks. He's considering living at a euro resort this winter and potentially working (he's not fussy). Now I've skied at quite a few, but to be honest, the place I'm thinking for him is Arolla, CH.
He's looking for something unique, not super ritzy/flashy... Anyway, what you got euro friends?
Another thought I just had was maybe the Andermatt area... He's also bilingual (french/canuckistanian).
Edit to add, he's open to weirder suggestions like Georgia or IT or ESP as wellLast edited by garyfromterrace; 06-04-2024 at 10:14 PM.

Arolla is a good base for the Spring touring season but is a small place and will be pretty quiet outside that so depends if he thinks that’s a good thing or not. Andermatt has the Gemstock if he’s a Freerider and connects to a much bigger area but is not French speaking. Val d’Anniviers (on the Magic Pass, like Arolla) would offer a bigger and more varied ski area although I’d still think it a bit limited for a season unless he has a car. The obvious French speaking places if he’s looking for high quality terrain and to meet people would be Chamonix, Verbier or La Grave / Serre Chevalier. They are popular for good reason. Spain (Andorra), snow record is too spotty. For Italy, a base in the Aosta valley offers quite a lot of good options (need a car). Georgia is great when it’s on but very remote and not somewhere I’d want to spend a season

If he really has to work, check 3 valles or tignes/val disere. Massive terrain, no bro bra scene to compete for tracks. Loads of tourist stuff to work.
Downside: ugly and tourons.
Life AND skiing: I'd go magic pass area. Although working IN the area doesn't give you more than zinal and switz could be complicated? I don't know though. Edit: G3000 could work Aa well as a place for work and ski inside the magic area.
French pyrenees don't get snow like ever
Out of the way places in inner Isere or hautes alpes like la norma have similar diwnsides like magic pass.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.
