Hey guys. My name is Justin Song and I'm writing here on behalf of my friend Changbum Ku, former Freestyle ski coach of Korean National team.

He and couple of guys are looking to start training in Europe over this summer around June or July for about a motnh, and need your help as to where would be the best place to train in terms of halfpipe and park.

We don't have a lot of info of European scene and mainly looking at places in France or Swiss, but if you guys have any information or suggestions, it would be very helpful!

Again we know little to nothing about the mountains there so all opinions are welcome. Please help some asian bros out. Thanks!

SAAS FEE!! The best place in Europe for summer/fall, hands down. Its always super quiet and everything about the town and mountain is suuper chill. The only downside is that it takes about an hour to get from the bottom until you are actually skiing and that lift passes are kind of expensive. They have a full 22ft halfpipe, 2 jump lines and a whole bunch of sick rails. The booters are some of the best i have hit, summer or winter! there is also a really cool crew of people up there on weekends from the Swiss Freeski team and general local shredderz.

I went to Les 2 Alpes last summer annnnd it was just a bit shit in comparison. Waaaaay busier and the jumps are the worst i have hit, seriously. Plus french people are pretty much all cuunts if you cant speak fluent french.

I havent been to Hintertux before but i have heard that gets awesome later in the summer, around July August. I was in a town 30 mins from there this winter and the people and own were really nice. Very cheap too, especially on beer!

There are other places obviously but Saas Fee is the town i would go back to every year no hesitation. Hope this helps.

The search function on the site isn't very good so don't worry about it too much. :)

Is this a hint for the list of ideas that will never be updated? ;)


isnt it pretty easy to incorporate the google custom search into the site?

les duex alps is better than saas fee park wise but saas fee has better snow because the resort is west facing so the sun doesn't melt the snow until around 12ish
