 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am a boarder who just moved to Slovenia after many years in Asia and am looking to find some more of the great off-piste powder I was spoilt with in Japan.
Slovenia seems to be too densely wooded to have much off-piste, so where to go....I heard great things about La Greve in France but this is just too far to drive from here. Is there good powder over the border in Austria & Italy or anywhere else nearby ?
Thanks for any help - I know nothing when it comes to resorts in this part of the world as today was my first ever time boarding in Europe !

In slovenia itself try Vogel - that's above the tree line and looked to have some nice runs available down the 'back' toward the lake. Usual caveats about geting a guide first few tmes unless you really know your stuff - they don't seem to do a lot of avalanche protection etc and there were some nasty looking dead ends visible from the lifts...
HTH, aj xx

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

Thanks AJ, will definitely check Vogel out
Anyone got any recommendations for off-piste boarding in Austria and the Italian Dolomites ?

Been ghearing some good things about the off-piste there so any comments from people who have been would be great

Not been to Krippenstein yet, also heard it's good but the sort of place you need to go with someone who has local knowledge.
Good offpiste depends very much on where the snow is. Boarder friends of mine caught Nassfeld after a major dump and had a great time.

try kanin on Slovene / Italian border. high above tree line awsome terrain and no one uses the powder - well a few do but still get freshies days after a storm. Soon to be linked up with Sella Nevea on the Italian side of the mountain which has the lowest glaciers in Europe! Kanin has hosted redbull extreme contests which tells you it has some very good terrain. Try www.basealp.com for more info. Also good for loads of summer adventure sports.
