Want to go on a skiing holiday but avoid the hordes of people with similar intentions? Then The Guardian has just the article for you. They identify the following locations as the best places to take to the slopes if you want to avoid the crowds:
- Alta, Utah, USA
- Big Sky, Montana, USA
- Cortina, Italy
- Fernie, British Columbia, Canada
- Grand Targhee, Wyoming, USA
- Kamchatka, Siberia
- Le Pré, France
- Leogang, Austria
- Monterosa Ski, Italy
- Ushuaia, Argentina
I don’t quite agree with Fernie on that list. While weekdays can be dead (and awesome!), Weekends bring in alot of crowds since it is only 2 hours from Lethbridge and 3 hours from Calgary.
I hope indoor and no alcohol skiing becomes prevalent because the last thing I want is sun damage and colliding with some drunk freak German politico.
