Val (and the Espace Killy) probably has equals, but I know it particularly well and I've done nearly everything in the Vamos guide, so I'm rooting for it. -- Jeremy R1200RT

Sure, there's some pretty good skiing there, but it's not half as good as it's made ouot to be. >Val (and the >Espace Killy) probably has equals, but I know it particularly well and >I've done nearly everything in the Vamos guide, so I'm rooting for it. Hah. I was finding routes that _weren't_ on the guide six or seven years ago. They've been added since. But really, Val/Tignes is certainly up there in the motorway run stakes, but the off-piste is just too popular and well known to be rated that high. You should come to Engelberg some time. Smaller, yes, but the opportunities for making fresh tracks in pretty extreme areas as far greater than eother of the aforementioned. -- Ace Ski Club of Great Britain http://www.skiclub.co.uk/ All opinions expressed are those of the poster and in no way reflect those of the Ski Club or its members

Things like the Glacier Ronde and the Y couloir on the Argentiere. Same as for mountaineering, there just isn't anywhere else with the same concentration of really serious easily accessible stuff. >>Val (and the Espace Killy) probably has equals, but I know it particularly well and >>I've done nearly everything in the Vamos guide, so I'm rooting for it. > > Hah.

I wasn't thinking of the motorway run stuff. Even now, not many people do the Couloir des Pisteurs, the Oreilles de Mickey, the N. face of the Pramecou. > You should come to Engelberg some time.
