Great Video! How long would you recommend there just for snowboarding?
@Simonjburgess Күн бұрын
Thanks… I would say that depends on your level. Indoor snowboarding is cool but I wouldn’t want to spend too long there consistently. I’d revisit for a weekend, skiing a couple hours a day.

Hi William, thanks for watching and your comment. Completely agree that this needs addressing. With young skiers in tow the rush to beat the queue is not realistically going to happen. Especially if you need to drop at ski school etc. As someone who LOVES Samoëns, I do hope they can sort this

Magic Pass is superb, but there is very limited cheaper accommodation in Switzerland. I skied for 5 weeks this past season and found the cost of accommodation to bring the overall cost way above going to one of the top French resorts for the same duration.
@Simonjburgess 2 ай бұрын
It’s I suppose a case of where you are prepared to sacrifice. If I compare Grimentz and Val Thorens, my Grimentz accommodation is cheaper than one week in Val Thorens and is nicer and for a much longer duration. VT accommodation was the worst apartment I’d ever stayed in and still paid lots for it. Location was great but that was about. My Saas Fee accommodation this year is more expensive and I’m staying in Saas Grund. But there were way cheaper/less nice options available in Saas Fee but for this trip I prioritised comfort. All swings and roundabouts
@hiddenmountainski 9 күн бұрын
@@Simonjburgess I agree. We can find perfectly cheap accommodation. The luxury accommodation is expensive though and random taxi rides can be extortionate. A well placed trip can be great value and the prices for a drink in the Valais are much better than in the three valleys
@matthewallen4366 2 ай бұрын
So thats the Pass sorted how do you travel and stay on a budget ?
@Simonjburgess 2 ай бұрын
That’s the hardest part. Travel I drive most trips. That’s either because I’m sharing with others to drop the cost or I take my dog. Food.. I don’t eat out much, lots of home cooked food and this goes for lunch on the mountains… sometimes a splurge on food happens but it’s not my regular. Stays - I’ve booked AirBnBs within driving distance/linked by transport of multiple resorts. This is how I will be able to travel between and see a few. Staying slightly lower and travelling up makes a big difference for cost. For example staying in Saas Grund and using the free buses to access Saas Fee. When I visited Anzere I stayed in a small village 20 min drive away. This also meant I was able to visit lots of other resorts as well. If you need any help planning or bouncing ideas let me know,

Congratulations bro, getting some nice sponsorship... as you should. Magic pass kinda sells itself doesn't it? I always reccomend bying it at the starting rate, and I did so again this year. I'll be hitting the mountains just as often in summer as I do in winter... the views still don't miss. Gondol, or chair lift up... walk, scooter, BBQ, lake's and sun all the way down. Don't sleep on the summer experiences with it if possible.

Самая наиужаснейшая модель обуви, которая у меня когда-либо имелась. Мембрана подтекает с первого дня. Потому, для треккинга обувь пригодна только тёплым летом и когда не мокрее, чем туман. Простая роса промочит их за полчаса - будьте уверены. Прорезиненная защита над подошвой начинает топорщиться и немножко отходит на сгибах уже при пробеге 50км. Но, справедливости ради замечу, что дальше дело не идёт: не отклеивается и не трескается. Шнурки - это отдельная тема, достойная нецензурной поэмы. Если вы приобрели эти кроссовки в чёрном цвете - вы молодец. Если как я - в синем (а так же сером, зелёном и пр.) - вам сильно не повезло: 1. Пластиковые наконечники шнурков быстро приходят в негодность - разбиваются (что естественно), и самый кончик шнурка начинает распушаться. После этого шнурование кроссовок превращается в квест с тренировкой для нервов. Ведь даже новые шнурки продеть в самые нижние петли - (сильно нецензурно ругаюсь) задача не из лёгких. 2. Arc'teryx совсем не озаботились придумать (заказать, наколдовать) шнурки по цвету своей же обуви. В свои синие вставил чёрные шнурки, поскольку любые приобретаемые мной синие оказывались или светлее кроссовок, или цвет был сильно сочнее, что приводило в эффекту "вырви глаз". Если бы хотел такого, купил бы салатовые или розовые сапоги. Так что обладателям не чёрных кроссовок - мой привет и искреннее сочувствие. В общем, это самая(!) неудачная модель обуви, которую я использовал. А! Забыл упомянуть про размерную линейку. В ней несоответствие на полразмера!!! Потому, при покупке ориентируйтесь не на линейку на сайте, а на размер стельки в миллиметрах. После этих кроссовок я решил забыть про обувь этого бренда навсегда. И если к их вещам претензий никогда не возникало (разве что Atom Lt первого поколения с их огромным капюшоном без утяжек) и не возникает, то обувь беру любую (LaSportiva, Salomon, Mammut, да полно производителей), только не Arc'teryx.

I found your videos this season and I have enjoyed the info and way you present it. I'm curious how you work and ski so much. Like you I had an epic pass with a view to working UK hours on US time (this being able to board in the US day). However with a bad season there I ended up in Europe which is quite limited on the Epic pass. A tips video for maximizing a season would be good. I'm off to check out the magic pass!
@Simonjburgess 2 ай бұрын
Thank you, I really appreciate that comment! I think the Epic in Europe is only going to get better. Crans Montana meant to be added this year… and I’m sure they’ll keep at it. Regardless I loved Andermatt so that would keep me occupied with the odd trip to the 3 Valleys and Dolomites etc! Magic Pass though is soooo good. Many of the resorts are smaller lesser known resorts which often means no crowds! There are also some bigger names like Saas Fee on there as well. For me, I’m a teacher, so every school break is a ski holiday for me with a couple of weekend trips chucked in as well. Trying to maximise the time off as much as possible. I hope you can find a solution that works well for you!
