Skiing and Snowboarding Abroad
Winter is officially in full force, which means one thing: About 90% of DU is thinking about skiing/snowboarding and when they’re going up to the mountains next.
Going abroad can be a great chance to not only learn and take classes in a foreign environment, but also take a short trip or two to ski the slopes in places such as the Alps or the Andes.
Europe:
With many students studying abroad in Europe heading to the Alps is a no-brainer for most ski or snowboard enthusiasts, but also look elsewhere. If you’re dead set on the Alps, some of the best places to visit are going to be in northern Italy, Switzerland or Austria. These places will not only provide a great ski session, but will also have phenomenal views of the mountains and surrounding areas. For other ideas look to Slovenia, may not be the first place you think of, but they have great mountains and resorts.
