I was lucky enough to have three days in Zermatt. Fucking amazing. Unfortnatly I was busy looking out for my little bro who was not allowed to go off-piste so I didnt get to do a whole lot of fun stuff.

It was an awesome place for cliff drops and such. Park sucked when I was there though, but the terrain is unbelievable and fucking huge.

One of the best ski experiences of my life. Plus the town is awesome, and you get to say that you saw the real Matterhorn.

trailmap here somewhere: www.zermatt.ch/index.e.html

if you come to europe, please dont ski park man. instead, take advantage of the fact that nobody is tellling you that you cant ski off the marked pists. thats what europe is made for

uuuuuuuuuhhhh.... yes, we have alot of crazy parks in scandinavia, åre, Hemsedal (one of the best in the world, and they are boulding out this year. it's going to be 4 difrent parks around the mount) hafjell has a pretty good one i think, Oppdal makes some good shit for megapark. and there's lot's of more. not to meantion stryn and folgefonna during the summer.

Well I know this is getting old but I need to give more information on where we are going and staying. So sorry I brought this back. My parents need me to start researching for where to get a pass. Anyhow We are going for 2 months in the 07-08 season and I will hopefully be skiing almost everyday. So I need a place in the french alps area, with atleast a semi good park and soome sweet terrain. They are both important to me because not everyday is a pow day and not everyday is a park day. Im looking at les 2 alps and la clusaz anywhere else??

dude, you certainly need to hit val d'isere/ tignes. definately the best freestyle/freeride mix in the alps. terrain is incredible, almost all lift-served, parks at tignes, and increasingly val are v. nice. la clusaz is a nicer place than 2 alpes, but would be lame unless your french is good-

go for val
