Possibly going to europe

[Abu_Hajaar]

I might be going to Davos Switzerland sometime in february. I've never skied in europe nor have I ever been in the alps, so obviously I have a few questions. What is european skiing like in comparison to skiing in the U.S.? How have the conditions been lately?

Its all about carving. Groooomers

Its steep.

Dont ski down it if you dont know.

Charge. Groomers. Some resorts have good parks... but only some.

you will probably find it steeper and it is pretty narrow compared to north america. Also switzerland is expensive, but the food you find in the restaurants on the mountain is amazing.

I skied les diablerets in Switzerland a few years back and loved it. Lot different then NA. Big parks is a rarity but big mountains and a lot of terrain.

davos is good for everything. small park with medium line and a good big kicker. fast short chairlift. davos has also good big mountains . and apres ski is pretty cool. in the village they have a pipe and big kicker, also you can shred it till 9.00 at night i think and you can watch it from the apres ski bar.

Davos has all-time freeride terrain, and is probably about ten times bigger than anything you've ever skied before. Unless the conditions are shitty you shouldn't even worry about the park. You will not be disappoint.

Conditions have been good in Europe this season, lots of snow early. It's been dry the last little bit, but that just means it'll pick up again soon.
