Man, If I was rich I'd be snowboarding on Cerro Catedral right now.
Why Catedral?
What do you mean why? Cerro Catedral is over 1000 metres of beautiful vertical descent.
What's not to like?
I don't know. Seems like if you were a rich man, you could choose a better place than
that!
Ok, Einstein where would you go?
It's a tough one but you'd have to put Whistler up there.
I was fancy something a little more exotic.
Argentina, Exotic? Are you going for the boarding or to drink margaritas? Whistler has an over
1500 meter vertical descent.
Look at the brain on Brad. If it's vertical drop only your looking at, hasn't Chamonix
got that title?
Yes, but Chamonix can't rival Whistler for the quality of the runs.
What about Kitzbuhel - Pearl of the Alps?
Austria? Nah they all speak Austrian.
Right so you would turn your nose up at the chance to board the Austrian Tyrol due to
the language?
Maybe not, but if I absolutely have to choose a European resort, i'm going with Zermatt
Switzerland.
First off, I'm pretty sure English is spoken at all of these resorts and secondly Gstaad
is more popular than Zermatt.
More popular it may be but, better it is not.
How so Yoda?
Zermatt is higher than Gstaad and has amazing snowfalls. I've heard stories from people
who've been there, shredding in overhead powder.
Then why is Gstaad more popular? More people head to Gstaad than to Zermatt.
It's just more popular with the jet set. You know the fashion set. People that want to
be seen in their expensive gear. Hardcore boarders head for Zermatt.
Is that a fact?
Look, i'm only suggesting going to an English speaking resort like Whistler, Vail in Colorado
or Banff Canada because North America has some of the best ski resorts in the world.
They all rival Europe's.
Vail is legendary it has thousands of acres of boardable areas. Mt Norquay in Canada has
wicked black runs and monster moguls. Whistler Blackcomb has to be one of the best resorts
in the world on every level. Oh and don't forget Stowe in Vermont.
You have clearly done your research on this. I guess you have a point. But they don't feel
as exotic and they don't have Argentinean girls.
I think I know where you need to go.
Home (laughs).
