Because of the associated glamour and elegance of a European ski vacation Offerta Uomo Nike Air Force 1 Low Just Do It Bianche Nere , many of the advantages of European skiing are often overlooked. A European ski vacation, regardless of the season, offers you many advantages which an American ski vacation cannot.


The primary advantage of skiing Europe is that you have more time-on-skis. This means simply, that the ratio of lift-time to ski-time is better than in the United States, perhaps 1:1 Uomo Nike Air Presto Fly Just Do It Nere Bianche Scontate , for every minute you spend on the lift going up, you will spend around a minute skiing down, assuming you aren't trying to set a record! This is due to a number of factors. First, lifts in Europe tend to be high-speed gondolas, at least those responsible for taking you to the peak of the mountain. This means that you can ascend 5000 feet Uomo Nike Air Max 95 Just Do It Arancione Saldi , almost a mile, in about 25 minutes. This is much better than the majority of United State ski resorts, especially those on the east coast. Normal chair lifts and T-Bars exist of course, but run either parallel to the gondolas, or are a means to get from one ski area to another. The amazing thing about European skiing is that even the smaller Uomo Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Triple Nere Scontate , less well known resorts still offer high-speed gondolas! They aren't reserved for the big names like Kitzb?hl and Solden.


The next advantage offered by European skiing is the large number of directly, or indirectly connected ski resorts. By purchasing a lift ticket at one ski-resort, you then have access to all of their partner resorts, either directly via interconnecting ski lifts, when the resorts are next to each other Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Utility Nere Scontate , or indirectly with local bussing or other means of transportation, when the resorts are further apart. In fact, at the largest interconnected ski area in Austria, there are over 150 miles of trails, more than 90 lifts Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Nere Scontate , and over 70 bars and restaurants on the mountains. The best part is you get that all for the price of one lift ticket ? which converts to roughly $40.


The next factor which makes European skiing so attractive is the affordability. In Europe, even for the ultra-trendy Kitzb?hl, where the cr'me-de-le-cr'me of the world ski, you will seldom pay more than $40 for a lift ticket. This is nothing in comparison to the prices Vail and Aspen demand for a lift ticket, around $75.


Europe can also compete when it comes to off-trail and powder skiing. Off-trail skiing in Europe is as equally loved as in the United States and can be done at every ski resort in the Alps.


Summer skiing is perhaps the largest advantage offered by European skiing. In Europe Uomo Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Nere Bianche Scontate , there are numerous summer skiing opportunities, many of them on glaciers, which offer a unique ski experience of there own. While none of the resorts guarantee that there will be adequate snow, a number of them skied continuously the entire summer of 2003, the hottest summer in recent European history.


The final advantage of European skiing is Apr's Ski. Apr's Ski just does not exist in the United States. There are arguably certain United States resorts which offer Apr's Ski Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Scarpe Nere Italia , but it just doesn't compare. Starting at around 3 - 4 PM, Europeans ski off to the nearest Apr's Ski party, which are directly situated on the mountains, and drink a few beers while loud ski-music plays in the background. The spirit of a real Apr's Ski party can't be described, it has to be experienced first-hand.


The advantages of skiing Europe are many Donne Nike Air Max 97 Bianche Saldi , and some more debatable that others. However, the largest advantage of skiing Europe can not be debated: if you ski in Europe, you will spend more time on your skis than you will in the United States.
