Lou,
I realize this is an older post. I was wondering if you or your readers know of
any blogs or websites that have a meet up sections on their site for international backcountry skiers. Similar to a Rockclimbing.com website. I’m heading to Chamonix in April. I was going with partners but now they have bailed. I’m sure I’ll meet some folks but I’m just trying to preplan a little bit. Just looking for some options as opposed to paying for guides.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Clark, I’m relatively clueless as to beta for Austria, am depending on the locals. They’ve got snow, so it’s pretty much point & shoot from what I’ve heard.

Hey Lou – any more specifics on the Wildsnow/Euro trip in Jan? A friend from Denver and I are headed to Austria Jan 13th-27th, flying into Munich for starters. After that pretty much everything fair game. Any beta on the region/tours much appreciated. Happy turns

Hi there lou,

Great to here you’re coming to the Dachstein massive. You absolutely have to ride the Krippenstein area. One of the last freeride/touring secrets of the Alps. Last year it was even better rated for its offpiste skiing than Verbier and LaGrave. (in a german mag…) Anyway maybe we’ll see eachother on the mountain,

Sounds good. I wish I could go climbing in Dachstein as well.

I agree with blogging real-time. It would be great to read your posts from the mountains! Just inform if you’re going to do it. I’ll be reading your posts!
