Off-piste, less crowds, cheaper tickets and excellent powder is the magic combo we travel to find. In Switzerland’s Engelberg and Jungfrau regions these factors are off the charts and what’s more, they’re stunning destinations. Don’t take my word for it, here are 10 compelling reasons to pack your bags and see for yourself.

What an exhilarating experience it is to stand knee-deep in powder at 1982 meters atop Mount Nishi-Daiten, gazing across snow-blanketed forests toward the rugged crater of Mount Bandai. The snow-capped, concave summit serves as a stark reminder of the eruption 140 years ago that blew the top off the mountain taking 500 souls and is now the icon of Tohoku’s skiing region.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, Big White Ski Resort stands tall at 2,319 m (7,608 ft), a beacon of adventure for winter enthusiasts. Here, amidst the snowcapped mountains, I was greeted with a diverse array of experiences that extended far beyond my expectations. I floated above the mountain’s infamous champagne powder through the iconic snow ghosts and glades, snaked through forest trails in a heart-pounding snowmobiling tour, and indulged in culinary delights at various charming après ski venues in the village. Big White provided me with an unforgettable experience that ignited my passion for thrilling outdoor adventures.

There are mountains. And then there are mountains that force you to shift forwards in your ski boots, lock in and pay attention.

Few places capture the collective imagination of skiers worldwide with the same twangs of thrill and yearning like the legendary Rocky Mountains. The peaky cornices of Arapahoe Basin, the fabled back bowls of Vail and the gladed stashes of Beaver Creek remain rooted in the minds and muscle memory of those who have made turns in them. As for the storybook Colorado villages dappled around their bases; they will leave marks on the hearts of most unsuspecting powder pilgrims.

Ski fiend and travel writer KATE ALLMAN discovers it all on a winter mission through Colorado.
