25-26 Ski and Snowboard Thread

I highly recommend Ischgl/Samnaun (in Austria/Switzerland) as a ski destination. It's part of Ikon, not overrun at all, huge terrain with Zermatt vibes but much less expensive. A bit of a trek to get to, but we had a really great week there.

How is it there today? Saturday was mostly boilerplate and wind holds 🙂

They got a few inches last night so the first half of the day was good. Then I was just skiing the edges of the trails where all the snow remained. Was totally empty so it didn’t get too scraped off. No wind, just fog after lunch.

Blue was as good as I’ve ever seen it today. Won’t last long w temps like this.

Nice. Unfortunately I couldn’t get off work as I had hoped. 😩. Going to try VT a few times later this month.

6" today at Stratton. Still empty. For two days, the only lift I waited over a minute was the gondola and that was still less than 3 minutes.

You know it's empty when your own tracks haven't been touched on the next run.

I was there today also, first time on the slopes in over 6 years. Awesome, had a great time.

Jiminy Peak. Anyone ski there? Tips, tricks, opinions? We chose it because it's not too far and there's daycare for my 2yo. Planning a family trip in a couple weeks. 8yo will be in ski school or take lessons at least. My wife and I will be happy just getting on the slopes for a few hours.

It's all right in front of you. I went there a long tome ago with my son and another kid and his dad. We had a great time, perfect for young kids. Bring a bathing suit, that indoor outdoor pool is cool.

Thought bell would be slush today with above freezing temps and rain. I was wrong, it all froze somehow so took out the sharp skis and made the best of it. I don’t drive shovels as hard as I did today at TM.

Yep. What @roc said. Great place for families. We took our daughter there when she was 5. Good ski school and enough terrain for your 8 year old (that was my sons age then).
