If you love skiing, travel to the Zillertal in Austria. Right now they have probably the best preseason jumps on the Hintertux Glacier (check out Jons blog in a couple days, he's gonna be there). Also they have Mayrhofen. This town is a real skitown with a lot of partying and a lot of newschoolers to hang out and ski with. By the end of november Mayrhofen will already offer an awesom railppark and some good midsize (30-50ft) kickers. They will be the first to open a Big Line probably already by mid december. Also they have an insane BC, but usually it gets good from mid januar....
enjoy it bro, go there!
