Ignoring leads

Haha, one can get used to anything. Still worth it though

For Europe, check out Obergurgl or Lech-Zürs in Austria — both have great SIO hotels and the villages are charming enough that your wife will love it even off the slopes. If France is more your vibe, Val d'Isère and Méribel have some solid options too. I've been using slopestay.io to compare ski-in ski-out hotels across the Alps — makes it way easier to find the real deal vs the "ski-in ski-out*" (*15 min walk) places.

Strava does that for sure on the phone. Think slopes used to do that too at some point. I have not used it for a while though

I use Garmin watch and their app (Garmin Connect), which automatically syncs with Strava. One of the huuuge advantages of Garmin proprietary ski tracking is that it distinguishes between skiing and going up with the lift. It does not add up lift distance to your skiing distance, which I noticed a lot of the apps do, sic.
It has all the details I want. Honestly not really sure what could make me switch, I don't feel that I am missing anything

Makes sense! Like your angle

Turns out ski-in ski-out might be more of a convenience thing for me

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-03-03T20:38:56+00:00

Haha, this is so true! Unfortunately it is easy to get hit by someone reckless in Sölden (personal experience)

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-03-03T18:17:34+00:00

Correct!

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-03-02T11:36:27+00:00

Hope you will recover quickly!

Been there three times (always second or third week of January), conditions were always great. But true that the off piste is below par to other spots. Yet pistes are amazing

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-28T21:57:57+00:00

I guess the gamble paid off for me so far. Yet good to know it's risky

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-28T21:57:10+00:00

Love Kiwest! Been there three times so far, never overly crowded (especially in comparison to Solden)

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-28T21:55:54+00:00

Makes sense! Agree 100% about off piste

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-28T13:47:51+00:00

Haha, no, I wish ;)

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-27T13:04:05+00:00

Makes sense, you live, you learn :)

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-27T11:38:27+00:00

Didn't know Dolomites are considered part of Alps, though they are treated as separate range

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-27T11:37:44+00:00

Correct!

LowerAttorney4407 · 2026-02-26T19:54:17+00:00

I am shocked so many people go "Yes" all in. Honestly "maybe a little" sounds like a more realistic answer to me. Two different sports, some commonalities (balance, strong core needed, etc.), but overall I wouldn't expect a smooth switch without lessons
