Thanks pal, you're very kind. Yeah, it's hard to find good resort guides I think - I always scour the web for videos when I'm going away.

agreed!

Yeah, I appreciate that in different circumstances I could have skied some great runs. Would love to return with friends.

Thanks pal. I miss skiing already!

Oh wow, I bet that was amazing!

@@RobbieKnox one of the best times of my life! Such a cool place!

Fabulous place. You can also do some glacial skiing on Kitzsteinhorn nearby too !

I remember going to chamonix circa 2012. Probably the best meal i've ever had was in les houches. Snowstorm, fog, me being a fucking 10 year old kid. Best lasagna i've ever tasted. Restaurant in the middle of a fucking slope. Food in balme was pretty good too iirc.

Thanks pal!

I've been looking to go to ski in Scotland but every time I check, the conditions aren't great - most of the lifts shut. The second I see an opportunity I'm there!

​@RobbieKnox Don't bother, tried last Feb at most recommended time for snow and all week there was nothing. Glenshee was a massiv let down t

Yeah, I’d love to go back and spend a week in the back country.

I love st anton, I did worked a season there!

Aw, thanks James. I'd love to review Kitzbuhel or Mayrhofen in Austria - I've skied both before and loved them.

I just had a week in L'Espace Killy (staying in Tignes Val Claret) and stayed in Tignes Le Lac in Feb 2020 and both were amazing!!! This time round the snow conditions were inconsistent as we only had snowfall on one of the days this week however next week is forecast 50cm a day for 4 days!!! The pistes are definitely better with more snow but were absolutely fine last week minus the dangerous skiiers. 2020 the snow was amazing and anything that wasn't pisted was just an offpiste playground and it was amazing. Offpiste was harder to come by this year but we found some unskiied powder in Le Fornet and we had 500-600m offpiste deserted descent which was incredible. Both times we skiied everything in Tignes + Val d'Isere and I can recommend loads of runs. Apres-ski is great too on the mountain and in the towns - La Folie Douce on VDI side is brilliant + Cocorico in Tignes is great too. It is obviously expensive but doable if you save a lot. We self-catered most nights to cheapen out but having food out was unbelievable. I'm sure you get the message but GO THERE!!!!!!! Even when the conditions aren't great as they were with me last week it was still absolutely brilliant and there's so much skiing to do and everywhere is so well linked, whether it be by ski lift or buses!

It's so fun. Look at Borovets in Bulgaria - there are some really cheap deals to be had.

Pretty isn't it?

Would love to! Trying to work out where to take the family next year so hopefully I'll manage one of those! Bansko is definitely on the list.

He loved it!

Aye rub it in.

Brilliant, you'll have a great time! Go on the mechanical luge!

I loved Kitzbuhel when I visited in 2006 - would love to go back again.

It’s a great place pal, hope you have fun.

Awesome, will definitely check it out next time I'm in the area.

Have fun! You'll love it.

Aw, thanks pal. You’re very kind!

I saw L'aiguille du Midi from the town - it looked stunning. Will definitely try to make it over next time I'm there. I've got a friend who goes to Les Arcs most years and loves it. I'd love to go there!

@Robbie Knox I look forward to your videos about them! L'aiguille du Midi was a definite highlight of our trip, although the queue to be in the glass box was huge but still pretty amazing, if not a bit touristy. Anyway, it's nice to know you read the comments. :) Thanks for making these videos!

Thanks pal.

It was! My friends got a burger from there, it looked epic!

I've literally just come back from pila. It was my second time there. The snow has been very lackluster the two times I have been. It has not snowed there since early January. That coupled with about 3 runs closed for ski racing teams only meant that only about 70% of the slopes were actually open. In comparison I also went to saalbach in Austria this year where it seems to snow at least 3-4 times a week

Yes, there hasn’t been much snow this year you’re right. They’ve been a bit unlucky. However, having skied there for 21 years this is a bit of an anomaly. I would say that the pisteurs really do try to keep the pistes in perfect condition even with a lack of snow - and unlike chamonix in this video you will always be able to ski in ski out. It’s also common practice for resorts to close pistes for ski racers and teams. The one piste on la nouva closed for ski teams is always closed for racing and Leisse 1 has four other options of piste to go down directly from that lift (which I would argue are better and more fun to ski). Totally fair points you’ve made but just wanted to defend Pila as it’s my home away from home and want other people to get to enjoy Pila which I think is the secret of the alps.

@@seonaideadie5049 totally understandable. We stay with my friend who is a snowboard instructor there. He's been going all his life and still loves it.

Glad you enjoyed it Clark! The bus system is pretty extensive so I think you’ll be fine pretty much anywhere (I’m by no means a Chamonix expert though). There were some big queues for busses at the end of the day though.

Sounds incredible. Don't know what a Bombarding is, but I'm off to Google it!

@@RobbieKnox don't google Robbie, just order one at the bar or during a rest stop on the slopes and see what you think. Don't worry, I promise it is not a local insult

I do go on about it a bit, but I love it so much.

@@RobbieKnox iv never been but u have inspired me to go!!

Yeah, I wasn't keen on that. It wasn't my ideal resort but I can see why it suits some people.

Not holding back.

So much to see that I missed out on!

Chile would be incredible but a tough sell to my wife. Zermatt would be amazing though. Was it expensive? I always wonder with Switzerland.

@@RobbieKnox Zermatt is really fantastic. a fairy tale with magic aura around this place. ! and not more expensive as Chamonix. Same price

Amazing Benny, I've heard good things about it. Was it expensive? I always worry that with Switzerland.

@@RobbieKnox not going to lie yes it’s expensive but not much different to Chamonix and has such a nicer feel having been to both resorts.

Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed it!

I want to do a video on Scottish skiing - just need a good dump before I go!

@@RobbieKnox I think they have toilets up there, mate...🚽

I’ve heard it’s a great area. Would love to check out more of the valley.

Do it!

I've always wanted to - the only problem is that if I go that far, I'm going to end up in Whistler!

Would you recommend Zermatt over Chamonix?

@@mathewmatu6094 Not been to Zermatt but I did ski in Breuil-Cervinia which was great. I guess the thing everyone would say about skiing in Switzerland is the cost

I have, I've been to Les Gets three times. I adore it, there's just so much terrain isn't there? Great place!

Cheers Kristian. I'm hoping to get a mini trip in but I'm running out of time. Keeping an eye on the conditions in Scotland...

@@RobbieKnox good luck buddy, for sure you drop the best ski resort reviews out there! I’m desperate to get over to North America after watching your you videos.

Does Tignes have better terrain than Val D'Isere?

@@spencereng With the hotel always in Tignes, I never spend much time on the Val D'Isere side. For terrain, I'm only interested in powder and moguls, which is all over the place.

I love Whistler in Canada, but in terms of Europe, Les Gets, Kitzbuhel, Wengen and laax.

Thanks Phira, I like them.

Yeah, I 100% want to come back and do the off-piste more. It looks amazing.

how was the snow? good conditions?

@bgtownend Yes mate it was good, especially up high. Le Tour, Grand Montet, absolutely brilliant. Wish I was there again now. Are you off on a trip?

We’re skiing March 7/8/9, Le Tour/Vallorcine looks good. Is Grand Montet pisted runs? Any grooming?

@bgtownend Le tour is always good especially the tree run and is quiet in the mornings. Grand Montet is pisted and the run from top to bottom is long and testing at times. I haven't done any off piste really but apparently its good there. We drive to courmayer for a day every year aswell which is well worth it if you're able to.

Another thought which was the last place I ski before the world shut down was baqueira beret in Spain. A hidden gem. It has 160.

I second Zell am Zee / Saalbach. I went to saalbach this year and it was the best resort I've been too. Great value for money as well with Saalbach, Zell am Zee and Kaprun on the same ski pass

Challenge accepted. I've been there three times and love it.

@@RobbieKnox class mate, look forward to it👌🏻

130 kph is 80.78 mph. I rounded up.

I checked French law and apparently looking awesome isn’t a crime there.

Agreed. Tougher on the mont Blanc side but brevant has amazing views and it’s fun watching the parapenters run off the side of the mountain. That gondola to Charles Bozon freaked me out!

@@monkeybearmax I've never had problems with that lift did you go on a windy day?

@@lemonz903 it’s my fear of heights… it goes from mtn to peak with nothing below. That’s all I meant. 😂 I’m a freak on many gondolas 😂

@@monkeybearmax Ah yeah it is over a huge drop isn't it your like my dad he always tries to stand in the middle so he doesn't have to think about it

@@lemonz903 your father is wise. it also didn’t help me that my friends liked to scare me by jumping up and down in the gondolas 😂
