The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
I can’t help you(Vetski) with the France or Switzerland, I’ve only been to France once and for the rest to Austria
As for Oz, Schladming is THE most amazing ski-resort I’ve ever been to!
I’ve been there 4 times, on the Planai/Rorhmoos side and it has some amazing slopes
Planai is like boarding in paradise for me(also there marketing thingy lol), they have good long slopes, a fun park for all levels of boarding, some off road slopes(I don’t know the translation but they are basically slopes that aren’t touched, so all the trees are there and they don’t touch the snow = awesomeness after fresh dump of snow :D)
I think they do the World Championship in Schladming in 2013! So last year when I was there they pretty much re-did the whole thing so all new lifts and stuff which is amazing
Also they have an awesome Blue-Tomato store and school! Blue-Tomato is an online clothing/snowboard/ski/skate/surf shop but they also have some really good snowboarding schools!
I’m gonna dump some pics of my last vacation just fyi ^^
(not the best pics ^^ first time ever using my GoPro , also the images are scaled down by facebook)
