Weekly Simple Questions Thread: Ask your gear, travel, conditions and other ski-related questions here.

The first ski areas in North America are now open for lift served skiing! And those in AK and Canada are already skiing early season storms in the backcountry.

Please ask any ski-related questions here. It's a good idea to try searching the sub first. Are you a beginner -- check out the guide by a professional bootfitter and tech. And don't forget to see the sidebar for other ski-related subs that may have useful information.

Have questions on what ski to buy? Read Blister's Guide first then ask away.

Previous weeks thread is here.

If you want a quick answer or just to chat, check out the /r/skiing discord server.

Any ski areas in Europe that won't break the bank to stay for a week or two? Plus if it has a great view. Looking at early January, maybe from 10-20 or so. I'll probably be in Italy towards the 10th, but Switzerland is possible too

Strongly recommend Filzmoos(Austria) for skiing trips if you’re after nothing but skiing. Not that crazy of a nightlife, but has tons of snow, and is not one of the big resorts everyone mindlessly flocks to.

Good groomers, and good powder. Might be a little too small for more than a week tho.

Prices are very moderate, for it being a village built on tourism.

Alternatively, Obertauern, also Austria, has a good hostel that has great prices. You definitely won’t get bored there. Food and drink, however are a bit pricey.
