Favourite Run

Fattes

What is it it may be a mild cruiser or somthing steep and scary there is no restrictions or criteria about what makes it you favourite place to ski.

Here are mine Mayrhofen's Black 17 Awsome fun and a proper leg burner with so many terrain changes variables to deal with and great stuff just off the side..

Derail at Kicking Horse: Proper pants staining scary stuff you will be touching cloth the whole way down but so worth it.

Boundry Bowl, Lake Louise: Great Scenery nobody around and chest deep powder Steep and less steep options a small cliff to hock off everything you could ever dream off.

27A in Saalbach a lovley cruisy blue that stops right at the Goatstall Well almost you have to ski the last 100 yards with copious amounts of Alcahol on board

Overflow

Saalbach:

Black 1
Black 14
Blue 2b

Cant wait to get back on them in feb!

prunudo

Cervinia:

Red 29/24

These were great runs right in the shadow of the Matterhorn with good off piste either side of them, quiet part of the mountain as well.

I_luv_2_ski!

Zell Am See: Blue 1 on to Black 14! also great for continuing on to Blue 16 to get back to the hotel we stayed in while there...nothing like front door skiing!!!

Kaprun: Black or Red 30..black is better at lunch time cause you can go odd and in to the Glocknerblick for lunch...its really nice!!!

Glacier on the Kitzsteinhorn: Blue 1 on to Red 2 to Red 11 or else Black 5 on to Red 8a then to Red 11!!! I always loved red eleven cause no matter how much speed you gathered going down you'd stop at the end due to the fact that you have to go up a ramp at the end and its fairly steep!!!

I,ve only ever been to Zell am See once and Kaprun twice...this year will be the first time I venture away from the area i know and love so well!!! But I think after having completed the whole resort in one week last year (it was a VERY tiering week) its time to move away!!!

Would recommend either town to anybody...ski pass does Kaprun, Zell the glacier and the Areitban which is in between both towns so there is sooooo much skiing!!! We were up at half 6 or 7 most mornings and only getting down as it got dark!!! LOVE it!!! I will return some day after a bit of a break from it!!!

Overflow Love that black 14 in Saalbach, it has a bit of everything from variables to tight steep to wider and the run out is awsome wide, steep and Icy.

Probably one of the most variables runs anywhere

Blackcomb glacier in Whistler the bowl off the back of the top drag lift on glacier

Backcountry at Sunshine Village in Alberta - Powder and trees

Saulire in Meribel when everyone else has gone home - sit up the top in the sun , crack a few beers and chill out and only leave when the mountain boys ask ya to go down

Two that stand out for me:

Hahnenkamm, Kitzbuhel. Kicks Ass. Most recent in my memory thou so i may be biased.

There was also a run at Whistler thats's awesome. Only a blue or red I think, I've forgtten the name but its named after some guy. The AAAA BBBB Downhill. Anyone know ?

+1 for the Hahnenkamm

Also for me the Kandahar in Les Houches (its the slope they use for Chamonix World Cup downhill)

Fattes

For those who have skied the Hahnenkamm was it the afternoon of the world cup race or the day after? They are the only times you will get the ski the full streif course as used for the races
The rest of the year they break it up with fencing and alternative piste routes

It is very high on the list of to do go watch the race. Sharpen up the 2V'S and come out of the start gate:D

Don't burst my bubble man! In my mind I'm racing the Hermanator and kicking his ass

The Kandahar is always open though, slope and weather permitting- it does tend to mean that you get a load of duffers sliding, falling, rolling down it, crying on it so that they can say the did the Kandahar.
