Iron Heart Ski Meeting 2027

“
There are many reasons to ski the Alps.They are so big. Where to go?
Logistical reasons, the value of money, best rides ever, the highest mountains etc.
I recommend St. Anton (Austria). It is in the central Alps, not far away of Switzerland, Italia and Germany.

@Giles said in The Iron Heart Baltimore Bash - September 18, 19 & 20, 2026:

Party in UK, party in Japan......Dates TBC

Can we change the name of this thread into
“Iron Heart Ski Meeting 2027” ?

There is a chance we could all ride some powder slopes on whatever in Japan, if the timeline fits.

[Giles]

Done

Anny party in Japan is likely to be late Oct '27

If you guys don’t mind @Aetas @Giles, I’m going to split this thread into two separate threads to avoid any confusion. Of course, per your approval.

[Aetas]

@goosehd Please do so. More than I could ask for.

[Aetas]

What about the snow in Japan around October @Giles ?

Edit: Just read about, that October is definitely an offseason. 🥲

So we should talk about the Alps!

My two cents is that France is far more affordable than Switzerland and Austria.

Val Thorens is a good option for higher alt and snow quality and enough pubs and restaurant options for a resort town.

Chamonix is always a safe bet. It is a proper town with a standing 20k population with supermarkets affordable restaurants and bars, heaps of options for food, drink and non-skiing options. Four ski resorts accessible from the town plus Vallée Blanche. It's pretty stunning.

Tignes is on the other side of Val d'isere, both resorts are accessible by (a crazy) lift. Tignes is considered more French, has great ski in ski out accommodation, good choice of restaurants and more civilised than a bunch of teenage Brits dancing on table tops in Val d'isere.

…and split. Please continue the conversation here.

Fast and valuable double split work @goosehd
