Look at the Jan issue of Powder magazine for a wild description of "gelande" (?) (off-piste) skiing. It may be what you're looking for (even though the article talks about austria. 1. Go to Zermatt. The Materhorn (sp?) if nice to look at and the skiing is fun. The town has lots of character - no cars. 2. I like Arosa because it's not real big and has huge open areas. (only 1-2 good bars in town, however). 3. Do not miss Chamonix in france. Wildest skiing party town in the alps. Also some fantastic skiing in and around the area. You won't be dissapointed. Hey - these are my favorites. I've never been to St. Moritz (not yet) or Val'd whats-its-name (were Jean-claude is from). Have fun! -- J Bradford Parker uucp: seismo!harvard!gcc-opus!brad otherwise: what else is there ? "Say something once, Why say it again ?" - David Burne
