Bump runs in Austria?
Hi, I've recently moved to Goettingen, Germany from USA. I used to ski in Taos and Pajarito, NM and enjoyed nice bump runs a lot there. In europe, I skied once in Innsbruck and Kitzbuhel, Austria long time ago, but I couldn't find any bumps. Can anyone recommend ski resorts in Austria or Germany which has nice bump runs? Thanks, Yoshi -- yoshi Message Origin: TRAVEL.com |

Thanks, Yoshi Can't help with Austria however France is nearer than the USA Tignes, France. Les Leisses (Black) seems to be left to its own devices and not be pisted until it is really, really bumpy. Under les Tommeuses lift there are some (it is strictly off piste but not far away) bumps that are decently long. Maybe under the Aeroski lift too. My experience is that bumps are generally hard to find. Took me years and years of holiday skiing to get enough under my belt to get to have a clue. Google maps says 9h 30m drive, 1,000km. Some ski schools do bumps courses. http://www.inspiredtoski.com/courses/bumps I have been with this one a few times and would definately go back. http://www.snoworks.co.uk/i-skiing/bumps.html I want to try this one sometime. Quite a few instructors work or have worked for both of these. Both are British owned and all Instructors are highly qualified and speak native (mostly) or excellent English. Many are mad as hatters which makes for interesting times. They presumably know where the bumps are. |

I've not done the bumps courses, but have skiied with many of the trainers these two companies use. For background, the founders of each used to jointly run "The Ski Company" for around 15 years. I've skiied with them several times and would endorse Bod's general recommendation. Quite a few instructors work or have worked for both of these. Indeed. There's a floating pool of BASI trainers who do work for, and in some cases run, several of the British ski schools in the alps. Many of them help out on the Ski Club's reps' and refresher courses. Both are British owned and all Instructors are highly qualified and speak native (mostly) or excellent English. Many are mad as hatters which makes for interesting times. "I'm mad, me!" |

Bump runs in Austria?
Hi yoshi
I've recently moved to Goettingen, Germany from USA. I used to ski in Taos and Pajarito, NM and enjoyed nice bump runs a lot there. In europe, I skied once in Innsbruck and Kitzbuhel, Austria long time ago, but I couldn't find any bumps. Can anyone recommend ski resorts in Austria or Germany which has nice bump runs? In Germany: Tegernsee Wallberg "Glaslhang" Mittenwald Dammkar (this is an unprepared freeride slope, but can have mighty moguls). Both are close to Munich, I don't know the ressorts in Allgaeu (Obersdorf or some where like that). In Austria the "Lärmstange" is a famous bumb slope at the Tuxer glacier. Florian |
