philw Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I started with France, close to the UK and well marketed here. It's an obvious place for "Alpine Snowboarding". Later I discovered Powder magazine and therefore the US and Canada and the helicopters there. I tend to end up revisiting the same resorts a fair bit, but with the good ones does make sense. I have walked over Vitosha in the summer, also spent summer time in the observatory above Pamporovo, plus I've been to a bunch more ski resorts in the summer for whatever reason. I guess you can see why there may be different perspectives on things. ------ Austria: Goldeck, Sölden, Ishgl Canada : Golden, Norquay, Sunshine, Lake Louise, Whistler, Mike Wiegele, Sun Peaks, Silver Star, Big White, Adamants, Purcell, Powder Mountain Whistler, Revelstoke, Hemlock Valley, Cypress, Grouse, Terrace, Panorama, Kimberly France: Meribel, Tignes, Avoriaz, Val Thorens, Alpe d'Huez, Val d'Isere, Courchevel, Les Deux Alpes, Le Flegre, Praz d'Arly, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Chamonix Finland: Serena Ski Helsinki Iceland: Siglufjörður Italy: Andalo, Cervinia Norway: Folgefonna, Stryn Spain: La Molina, Masella Switzerland: Haute Nendaz, Verbier, Zermatt United Kingdom: Nevis Range, Aviemore, Royston Golf Course United States: Winter Park, Brian Head, Brighton, Solitide, Snowbird, Powder Mountain, Taos, Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, Arapahoe, Keystone, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those first 4 countries were parts of my native Yugoslavia and all those resorts were within only 4-8 hrs drive from Belgrade... I also lived in South Africa, that explains Tiffindel.
