Champoluc
Submitted By: Christopher Cook

Overall impression of the riding: Great off-piste, none of the Italians like to get into trouble so they stay carving their boards down the piste in hard boots. Lifts have no queues except on Saturday afternoon so you waste no time fighting through thousands of children. No halfpipe, no snowboard park but who needs it the mountains offer so much untouched powder that you can't even do 10% of it. In the back country the peace and quiet is a quasi-religeous experience. Cheep mountain restraunts too, all the pasta and pizza you can eat.
