But not in the country you currently live, where would you move?

I think my first choice would be Austria in some little alpine village:


Followed by probably New Zealand and then probably the US, simply because of similarities to Canada. Maybe Washington or Oregon?

Somewhere in the Alps. From what I have gathered, Andermatt, Switzerland sits in the right spot in the Alps so that it gets hit by winter storms from both sides, and therefor usually has more snow than pretty much anywhere else in the greater Alps on average.


Perhaps not enough playful tree skiing there though, so lets use it as a starting point and go from there. I mean hell, I've been in BC for over a decade now and I'm still working on finding the location that is perfect for me.

If I were living my dream life Id stay in America, live in PC all winter to ski and come back east and live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by empty dirt roads for rallying.

Otherwise probably somewhere in europe like Italy or a Scandinavian country.

I've only heard good things too. What I really want to do there is road bike around the Ring Road over the course of several weeks. Just taking it easy and making sure to hit all the cool places. And I think I would tent it. Obviously in the summer.

But if you had to not be in US. Must be a tough question for someone who thinks that anything that isn't Murca sucks ass.


And for me either the PNW or NZ probably. Somewhere in Eastern Europe (but no too far east) would be great too.

I'd totally live in Slovenia or Croatia or in that area. Super cool area of Europe.

If I didn't do something with mountains or wanted something tropical, I'm pretty sure Fiji would by my go to.

Do you really want to "pop cherries" I mean ones cool and all but I doubt I'd like to pop another.

Some many cool places, I'd probably have to say pacific coast of US, Cali, something like that

Maybe New Zealand

My family and I are from Italy(moved to the U.S.)and I'm planning to move back for a few years after college. We still have some family there that I don't know very well, so i would like to go back and get to know them. We moved when I was young so Im not fluent but I can speak and understand basic Italian. My goal is to learn the language and be able to speak fluently by the time I would move back( for obvious reason). It would be interesting as shit to learn some more about where we used to live and everything. From what I've heard, the skiing in Italy is pretty awesome too so I'm stoked!

I can live anywhere and I choose Japan and Chile for their winters. Spain for the off seasons because it's cheap, epic weather and decent kitesurfing.

A huge reason why I took the job at Atomic was to be within minutes from spots like these:

That being said, I would love to live in Banff, Canada holds a very special place in my heart.

Scotland for sure. I fell in love with Edinburgh but I'd love to live on the isle of Skye. I could be a forest hermit and build a treehouse by a fairy pool for sure.

New Zealand because skiing, surfing/ocean, massive amounts of bike trails, friendly as hell people (i've heard)

Or Tahoe for the same reasons. Except in the summer the lakes pretty cold. But Tahoe... idk. Not to be "that guy" but idk if I'd want to live there because of how "mainstream" it is... does that make sense?
