my wife and i go to the alps for 3 weeks every year. We just got back. We were in Chamonix last year, and it was kinda shitty, due to the major lack of snow and major non-lack of ice. I don’t know about this year, but Europe in general, from what i hear, is hit and miss with the weather…but the terrain is amazing…so long as their is snow. Chamonix is world class…my wife’s Dynastar skiis are made there for chrissakes.

We go to Verbier, Switzerland every year (because her grandparents live there) .. the snow was great until the heat really picked up and wore away the base. It was unseasonally warm, I was told…but we did ge one nice dumping of powder. The terrain is UNREAL in the alps in general. trust me. Off-piste is the name of the game…and there is so much terrain. The snow-parks are kinda like “whatever” .. but my theory is that they are an eastern north american invention, simply because our terrain is a fraction of what they have.

Talking to some Brits over there, they pefer the rockies, especially Whistler, because of the guaranteed snow.

Now by comparsion, altitude wise, anything in the rockies caps at around 1500m … the town of verbier itself is 1500m … when we shredded from he top of Mont Fort, we were are 3777m! Insane. So as you can guess, much of the alps is above the tree line, so it’s alot of glacier runs. The rockies you get more treeline stuff.

Also, and someone step in to correct me, but i think the Rockis are wdier, as is more expansive, but the alps are more crucnhed togther…not sure if that means they are steeper, but the scenery is more compacted.

hope that helps…between Verbier and Rockies, I’ll take verbier, simply because it is so uncommmercialized…little shops with european foods…no McDonalds in site…but that’s just me.

now check otu my groups sketch comedy video;) http://www.shredordie.com/videos/4e76e2006b
