Snow for the Euros.

I agree with all of the above.
Maybe considering st. Anton and verbier for your trip.
All the obvious runs get skied daily. This has a positive effect on the snowpack! So I see no problem to go explore with the family! If you have a foot fresh overnight. Everything is tracked by noon. So the days after in stable weather it could be good. If the avalanche bulletin goes to lvl 2 I consider it save. Tracked out runs / ski routes / no hanging snowfields above etc.

Scoring first lines is a different game.

is anyone else having issues with this site as of late?! ok, hopefully this lands with some of you. I am looking at klosters for 8 days of riding over christmas/new years week. i fully get that the alps are busy that time of year but wondering if klosters zone is manageable or a full on gong show. wife and i found a nice spot to crash and wanted to check out this zone but wanted to check on busy factor....thanks!

Probably one of the more manageable zones around New year. There will be people, but it won't be verbier or st. Anton I don't think you'll wait more than 20-30 min to get on the mountain. Unless it's a powder day and even then that area is not a mega mad Max style shit show like Engelberg. On the hill things should spread out


Some mags have first hand experience though. They'll probably chime in.

@Duffman
My 2c, since my kids school holiday is roughly in the same period (a week anywhere between the end of March and 15-20 April) - go high, a gletscher ideally, the sun is strong and a major factor by that time of the year, even if its cold. There is plenty of sidecountry terrain that is easily recognizable, safe and is regularly skied by uncles on skinny skis and sunglasses. I've been skiing small sidecountry lines (small forest and fields next to/between pists) with my now 12yo for the last 2 years, its easy to spot the safe zones. The Alps experience by itself is something.
I am 12 hrs away by car, so I've had instances of going lower elevation, but that was determined by favourable forecasts. Considering you need to book flights, accom and such in advance, high elevation would be my first priority. Have fun!

@Duffman which part of the alps you thinking of going?

Hey Rossy, how was your season? Good skiing in the Karpaty?

I didn't move to Poland before the winter was over. I'll let you know this winter though.
I'm hoping the Polish and Slowakia mountains will be kind to its latest edition with deep cold delights. How was your season? Where did you end up at Easter time?
