Skiing in Europe has many distinct differences from shredding in North America. But is it worth traveling across the pond for North American skiers and riders?
Last week, PeakRankings released a detailed video breaking down the major differences between skiing in Europe and North America. They conducted their research while visiting six European resorts, which included Les 3 Vallées, Chamonix, Zermatt/Cervinia, Verbier, Crans-Montana, and Andermatt.
Some of the major differences that PeakRankings pointed out include the interconnectivity of the resorts, terrain ratings, lift infrastructure, public transportation, on-mountain dining, après, and lift ticket prices. Ultimately, it sounds like Europe has a great atmosphere and modern infrastructure, but the snow quality is usually not as good compared to top North American skiing destinations.
