I have been thinking that it would be fun to meet European friends for a ski trip in the Alps. I have visited Austria several times and the Italian Dolomites twice, all in summer, and really enjoyed the scenery, the culture, the alm huts etc.
On the other hand, skiing is so condition dependent, and costs a lot of money, so is it worth it to spend that time and money on a ski trip to the alps, or better of to go to the Western US, and visit the alps in summer?
What are your thoughts on snow quality? What about skiing styles? I know my kids and I enjoy soft snow, moguls and tree runs, not super steep runs or long groomers.
I also know I really struggle to ski in poor visibly, it makes me dizzy and fall, so I tend to stick to narrow tree lined runs or actual tree skiing in those conditions.
No avalanche skills(and wouldn't take my kids even of I get some)
@TonyC, your trip report was what got me thinking more about this.
Admin, I don't see the way to mark the region, could you do so for me? Thank you
