I got some time off the last 2 weeks of august and I would love to get some outdoor skiing in.. What are the best options? It would be nice if there are some off hill activities too!
Also I'm most likely going by myself so it would be nice if there is somewhat of a party scene!

Thanks!!!

Where in Europe it really matters.

I'd say if your'e in Holland area, you could go to Landgraaf snow world, which is the largest indoor ski resort in Europe and has a legit nice park. If you're in Switzerland, go to Saas Fee or Zermatt. If you're in Southern France, probably go to Glacier 3000 or something. If you can go to Norway, Fonna is sick as fuck, but I'm not sure it's open. If you are in Austria I remember Hinterux was open in like September or really late.

Glacier isn't open then.

Hintertux will be open, but no park. Zermatt or Saas Fee are your only choices for park, unless you go to one of the fridges in Holland.
