Kitzbühel
“One of the largest ski resorts in the world, rich with Austrian history and a traditional approach to skiing. From a gastronomical perspective, the food and beverages are of a traditional Austrian nature. The Apreś Ski scene is phenominal. There are dozens of bars and clubs in and around the Kitzbühel village. Transport to and from Kitzbühel can be presented with challenges as the directions...” --RichardW1995
Zermatt
“ My wife and I decided to celebrate a 10-year anniversary in Zermatt this year. We're from the Northeastern US and figured if we're going to take a ski holiday why not go big and go to Europe. Trip was in early March and we went without kids. Settled on Zermatt for the range of terrain and the sense that -- as posted by another here -- if you only do Europe...” --AgWagon

Val Thorens
“ Val Thorens has some of the best European piste skiing, period. Piste bashers will love the varied and interesting selection of intermediate/ advanced groomed runs. Near VT itself the skiing isn't amazing but it's well connected to the nearby areas on your 3 Valleys pass. The only real downside is the lack of tree skiing, and if the weather is bad on a mid-winter trip the exposed slopes...” --arturocarlos
Chamonix
“ Every serious skier should get here at least once. What makes Chamonix special is the serious off piste, often glacial terrain--not only the Aiguille du Midi/Vallee Blanche but the Grand Montets, Brevent, and Courmayeur in Italy (through the Mont Blanc Tunnel). The only safe way to experience this terrain, if you are the kind of skier who is reading this review, is with a...” --oldgoat
Lech-Zurs
“This used to be my 'home' mountain when I lived still in Europe: went to ski there once or twice a year for 1-2 weeks for 25 years. Went back last year (living in Canada now since 4 years): it is still a magical place. Contrary to northamerican resorts and some French resorts, this place has a history: plenty of atmosphere. As the terrain is really big and varied, you can pass a day of skiing...” --Pieter
Les Arcs Paradiski
“ Les Arcs 2011 / 2012 starts HERE!!!! Hope everyone had a good summer. Time to start planning for next winter. The summer season is over. All the lifts are closed. It is raining right now and there is even a little fresh snow falling on the mountain tops today so I thought it must be time to kick off the coming seasons new thread. How many days is it till the season starts, not...” --snowcrazy
Saas Fee
“ I've been coming to Saas-Fee for the past seven years every Christmas and New year for two weeks. Though I don't actually stay in the Fee, rather the village of Unter den Bodmen halfway between Saas-Almagell and Saas-Grund, I spend the majority of my time skiing there. You read reviews constantly complaining about how Saas-Fee is north facing and always in the shadow,...” --William Donovan
Avoriaz
“I live in the linked resort Morzine and both ski and board in Avoriaz all the time. It's a truly epic ski terrain with 100's of km's of pisted slopes across Avoriaz, Morzine, Les Gets, Chatel et al and an equivalent amount of off piste. Nightlife (unusually for French ski resorts) is awsome with the full range from grunge bars, upmarket wine bars, family friendly and also Michelin starred...” --Doyley
Campitello Di Fassa
“ My journey to Campitello this January started in Switzerland of all places, two trains later and a private transfer from Ora station and i was relieved to see the Fassa Valley, which actually had some snow on it. The journey probably highlighted the weakest part of Italian skiing and that is the transportation to the resorts. Which is lagging compared to the rest of Europe. ...” --William Donovan
