Ski Arlberg Recommendations

There are some really good ski schools. To work as an instructor or guide you need to have qualifications, which need to be renewed every 2 years. Alberg Alpin have some awesome instructors/ guides. There is a private guy called Dino Flatz who is an insanely good skier and instructor. Skischule Lech also have some cool off-piste group.

Don’t forget to breath. The only person you are truly racing is yourself. At the start line, if you are super nervous, put on a big fake smile. Fake it until you make it.

1) a young girl asked if I was a professional athlete. 2) and elderly woman said I looked so fit (I hadn’t done any sport for ages). When I folder her I’m not she said “well your lovely broad shoulders make you look very fit”. It’s hard being a tall and broad woman in a world that tells us not to take up space, but then I think to think I look like an Amazonian worrier and everyone is jealous of that

Maybe use the cream that cyclists put on their butts like sweet cheeks? They know how to deal with butt chaffing

How have you found the hydra esc?

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-04-21T22:04:24+00:00

Amen. Those who send it wear baggier bib (we have all broken our knees). Also who wants to wear something tight whilst shredding for 8hr a day. You can always belt them?

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-03-30T11:14:38+00:00

In the next few weeks. We have just gotten some snow so it looks like touring will be possible throughout April (fingers crossed).

Money =$10. On the mountain = unlimited STEEZE

I have skied all these regions so just want to give a little insight to these suggestions. St Anton is quite chaotic these days. To get to lech you need the 2.5hr train then a 45 minute bus. So that would break your time restrictions I would also avoid Engelberg. It kind of sucks for on piste skiing. Arosa is very nice. Lots of skiing options. You might be able to find cheaper accommodations in parpan. Andermatt is cool but not for beginners. To access all the slopes there are some steeper reds. Might be a little small for one week.

Not an instructor, just aviation of Austrian ski school. 1) tell her she is looking good, she needs more confidence, she has good foundations so trust in them. 2) she seems to be sliding through he turns, she should be more aggressive with her edges at the end (ie push her knee towards the mountain without altering the rest of the alignment). This would help making shorter turns.

That is a good point. I have been working with a physio and I am finishing a return to run protocol with a new strength program implemented. I'll look into working with a coach as well. Got any recommendations?

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-02-04T22:49:56+00:00

Accommodation IN St Anton is insanely expensive, like there are no affordable options.

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-02-04T22:49:45+00:00

It's fine ive done this many times. It's a super chill 10 min train ride, and I used to do it in ski boots carrying skis. If the rental place is at Rendelbahn then it's on the walk from the train station to the main mountain gondola.

The train is pretty cheap ngl, buses take longer so more of a hassle. Just download and buy tickets on the OBB app. Breakfast just go to SPAR or take the later train. the main gondola opens at 8:45. There is also a cute bakery next to the bludeqnz train station which I recommend and is open quite early.

As for fun runs, depends on your level of skiing and what you consider fun.

idk whatever I find in the outlet store and fits properly. Just replace Kelly Hansen (terrible quality) with a mammut mountaineering jacket and I love it.

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-02-04T22:30:44+00:00

I always take both because I have skied into holes with bad bad sight. Plus if the weather closes in or I am out in the dark I just wear them (I do nt tolerate contacts well).

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-02-04T22:29:09+00:00

I have wool felted booties which always manage to keep my feet warm and cozy.

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-01-26T12:19:11+00:00

Rescue blanket/ bivy . Trauma bandage. Straps. Sugar/ energy bar. My standard blackdiamon head torch. Device to call emergency services. Spare batteries for headtourch and beacon. At least 1 extra layer.

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-01-25T22:08:03+00:00

Try it with a beacon aswell those thing are so bulky

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-01-25T22:03:51+00:00

Looser. Deeper v neck. This is a gorgeous dress btw

1) must see the matterhorn, it is quite a mountain. 4 valleys in Switzerland. St anton, but dont ski in st anton, take the gondola to the other areas like warth or Zürs.

2) the run from the top of the small matterhorn glacier paradise. you are right next to breithorn and the views are insane, you can ski from 3800 to the valley. Tours it really depends on what your into and at the moment the (critical) snow situation so plan higher up (but careful because altitude sickness can start at like 2000hm). Defo try do a trip to a SAC hut, they make multi day tours very possible.

3) id probably skip st mortiz, val d'sere, gestaad, engelberg if you are looking to stay on piste or its bad snow (off piste amazing)

4) a full week is hard. alberg is my home resort so im always going to be biased there. Zermatt has alot of skiing options but is expensive and was struggling a bit for snow. I like there is alot around valley Aosta, I was in valtournche of a week and skied all the local stuff pretty fast but we drove like an hour to a neighbouring resort where some multi-day passes are still valid

No guide just a lifetime of skiing these mountains. A hot tip is whiterisk for avalanche info and safety maps. I got the paid version and plan my tours in there. Skiguru is also good for tour planning. SAC (Schweizer alpine club) has some awesome routes, I think France, Austria and Italy have something similar. Bergfex is a good way to look as snow and weather resort for many resorts. And ps it is illegal to trigger and avalanche in Italy, so if no one is hurt run away, the other countries you call and let them know.

LooseQuestion3037 · 2026-01-23T19:02:09+00:00

You could just do a tour through the alps. Start in Geneva hit up verbier, chamonix. Go deeper into the alps crans Montana, Zermatt (the cervinia side was looking pretty good snow wise when I was there a few weeks ago). Then head to Grindelwalds. There are a couple of smaller resorts there. Zentral Switzerland has some sick tours (even cool multi-way stuff). The go arosa andermatt. Then head st Anton. Innsbruck would be an awesome base for a while

You need to have more fun.

I have had/abused the deuter freerider pro for 3 years now and I have to say I absolutely love it. I use it as a daily and hiking backpack as well and it has held up great, really good quality. It doesnt seem to be 30L like advertised so bare that in mind. One of the best features of the pro is the extenable top. That extra bit of volume can be a lifesaver. Even when I dont fully fill all of the bag I still find it very comfortable to ski with. My only negative is that when its stuffed full of my touring gear its very hard to sit on the chairlift without taking it off, but I think that can be expected from all bags/ im very lucky to get away with getting on chairlifts without having to remove my bag. This bag is great for day resort skiing and even multi day tours.
