February is Euro winter vacation . Prices go up, crowds manifest, hotels are more full, travel can get more of a hassle (trains get overbooked).
But hey, if you want to go early-mid March, convince of bunch of likeminded weirdos and go. vendul will see that all is covered.
Personally, I have family commitments at the middle of March, so I can't go early-mid March.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

20 21 was one of the best winters ever. I skied pow from September to may! A friend stopped counting at 80 days in April and he works full time as a teacher (but he has fridays off ) In may he said: I could ski every weekend and all holidays because it's been constantly awesome. He skied pow on the titlis closing day on may 23rd and his first pow day was September 26th with me. I couldn't go in latr may because I had to Pack the rv for a surf trip but i skied pow on may 9th or 11th maybe. So an 8 month season!
Hell I skied thigh deep pow in the fucking Black forest. And spent 15 days there because we couldn't go to the Alps. Locals said it was the best Black forest season since 05 06.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

February sucks. Great if you enjoy EPIC-like lift lines and drunks everywhere.
March is great if you hate lift lines and like having the mountain for yourself. Also, the steep lines are usually in better condition late in the season as it can still snow and the glaciers gets more and more cover.

Is there a comprehensive list of resorts to avoid because of epic and ikon and what else not?
I mean Arlberg, verbier and Chamonix have been on my list anyway( verbier has alreadybeen crowded in 2002, the cosmique had a lot of tracks in late may in 2006) . Nobody cares about Zermatt, but andermatt makes me sad. I still remember days when you could ski to the valley before 11am and not get Stuck in the morning valley lift line.
Engelberg has not changed much except that I tend to go home an hour earlier then ten years ago because it's tracked 12 am to 1pm instead 1 to 2pm.
And do not post euro resorts where it's still goodIt's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

Thought I'd post this here and give you First dibs. Doing a pre season clear out and before I post this on willhaben, any Innsbruck locals interested in a pair of beat 194 dynastar xxls and decent 196? Salomon xwing labs?

LOFOTEN or LYNGEN?
Planning for next year, looking for opinions on Lofoten vs Lyngen Alps. Also wondering about advice for timing. Was originally thinking about doing the boat thing, but looks like there's plenty of excellent road hits, and maybe with a little guidance and good sense, many good objectives can be skied.
Right now I'm thinking either last week in March in Lofoten vs. 2nd week of April in Lyngen. Kinda leaning towards the latter.
Or maybe Senja?
I've been to the Sunnmøre already and want to look further north.
I've already checked some of the excellent TRs in the archive, but and extra or updated advice or beta is greatly appreciated.

Can you fly into Tromsø and just make the call conditions-dependent when you arrive?

Just wanted to bump this thread cause it’s getting colder.
I haven’t been up to any of the glaciers this fall, I usually save my days out of town until the real snow is here.
Who’s been skiing?
Who’s looking forward towards it?

Skiing is so last year. We're all switched to stand up paddle.
First snow should come next week. Probably nit ridable but base.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.
