 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm just back from Ischgl and although the resort itself has it's ...er... issues, I loved the skiing - especially the large selection of steep black pistes that had character and variety.
Given the above, where else would  's recommend? (in Europe)

red 27, St Anton should do it for you - but like marmite, you either love it or hate it

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Gsyfreerider, huge groups of bavarian stags steaming pi$$ed at 7.00pm, more strip clubs than restaurants - all that stuff

red 27, I'm not that fussed by the Bavarian stags at least they don't seem to want to kick off when they've had a few like other nationalites. Anyway if you wait around long enough the strip clubs turn into restaurants!. Shatzi is a classic example, at 4pm it is heaving with bevvied up Austrians and Germans letching at the girls dancing on the bars flashing their knickers. By 8pm it has been transformed into a romantic restaurant with couples gazing at each other having candlelight dinner - truly miraculous. Lech is nice by the way, lots more low key apres than SA or Ischgl but great skiing.

I'll re-phrase my post...
What are peoples top 3 rated resorts for hard piste skiing?

Gsyfreerider, The Shatzi isn't a classic example. A lot of the bars turn into restaurants post apres ski but during apres are normal apres ski bars, not strip clubs and while the girl's clothing in the Shatzi leaves little to the imagination the girls do not strip. The other clubs that red 27 mentions are not strip clubs in the traditional sense but lap dancing clubs, mostly attached to upmarket hotels.

IncogSkiSno, Thanks - Killy is on the list, although I am no francophile. I thought Ishgls steeps were better and more extensive than St A's - but perhaps I need to expore there again.
