Where is the best place in Italy/Austria/Switzerland to ski?... as in where has the best park?? Also, what time of the season is usually the best ski? I am doing a semester abroad, and naturally I want to bring my skis, get a pass, and shred!

thats a big area to cover. it depends on where youre going to study. there aren't too many universities, also the parks aren't that big of a scene over there...

you have stubai , hintertux , serfaus , ehrwald , westerndorf , mayrhofen ... all in about an hour drive available , laax is about 3h away from innsbruck , not to forget nordpark wich you can get to ,in about 20 min directly from the center of the city
its pretty much the best place to study in europe

florence is not he best place if u want to ski...

take a look here ( http://www.skiinfo.it/ski-resorts/airports-12800-it.jhtml?cityName=Firenze&sort=distance&citySearch=true&showCitySearch=true&cityDistance=300 ) these are the resorts less than 300km away from Florence....but i´m pretty sure that they suck...

Look for smth in the Dolomites... like in Val Badia, Val Gardena. www.dolomitisuperski.com
