Well I started my season already in Zermatt where I ride every weekend of september, october and november until Laax opens.

Then I get a season pass for Laax.

I will also hit Les Diablerets (monsterpark.ch) a couple of times before Christmas.

I'll also try to ride St. Anton, Avoriaz, Davos, Andermatt, Engelberg and I'm planning a trip or two to the French Pyrenees. Maybe I try some riding in La Rioja (Spain) which is very original but they have small resorts.

yes and no. Technically, coming off the aiguille du midi in chamonix u got 9200 feet vertical but u gotta freeride off a glacier and there's a lot of hiking and flat involved.

In Zermatt-Cervinia u got 8000 feet true vertical on several faces.
In Mürren, if snow conditions allow, u got 8000 feet vertical.
Alagna used to have 8000 feet vertical but I think the top lift is shut down next season.
La Grave u got 7000 feet vertical.

The largest heli-served vertical is from Alagna or Zermatt onto the Monte Rosa, then u got 12000 feet.

The highest lifts in Europe are Aiguille du Midi 3842m (Chamonix) and Klein Matterhorn 3899m (Zermatt).

Krasnaya Polyana btw. Looks sick in Soul Purpose: Sage, Victoria, Burks and Marc Andre killed it there I believe. Would be great to ski it now before it really gets on the map (which it will surely very soon). Hope you have a sick sick time man.
