      Your videos are always blessed with meaningful insight. Experimenting with different ski resorts sparks an adrenaline rush. Groomed trails may be tantamount to the monotonous humdrum of life. One must exercise prudence skiing out of bounds. You have to do it without getting caught or killed.

      St. Moritz is most definitely NOT a mid tier resort, it is in the highest tier possible, one of Europe's and the world's greatest ski resorts. Been for a day. ❤

      glad you mentioned the yellow glacier run
      a lot of swiss ski areas have a few ski runs that lead to other villages or the other side of the village with no ski lift back, though there is always public transit. Those ski runs are mostly empty but a hidden gem

      St. Moritz ironically is amazing for nordic skiing over the lakes.
      actual skiing is horrendous. lech is infinitely better if you want that vibe.

      I love it for on piste, grooming is one of the best. Corviglia has excellent lighting in december. Corvatsch is best in March-April. I can also recommend doing the morning at Corviglia and afternoon at Corvatsch. Crowding is really only an issue during xmas. But this is true for any bigger resort in the Alps. Also, the weather is usually better because it's already on the south side.

      If you include the three areas separately in the rankings because they are not linked, why do you also include linked areas like 3 Vallees separately when they are very much linked. Doesn't make sense.
