People are starting to know more about it, but I was blown away by Almaty, Kazakhstan. It's like a future Swiss Alps. It has the potential to be an extraordinary ski resort. It is a city with beautiful mountain scapes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been to Switzerland a handful of times, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to climb.
Schweitzer is where I found snowboarding; it will always have a special place in my heart and is a top-notch ski resort. It has some of the best bowl tree skiing in the world and breathtaking views of Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille.
Internationally, I love going to Switzerland. I went there many times for shooting and loved the Alps, the tranquility, cleanliness, the greenery and the warmth of the people there.
I love American ski resorts because they're open to everyone, are not incredibly expensive. They're not snobby and you can have fun all day long on the most excellent mountains.
I started from nothing in Lichtenstein. The country is so small, and the only 'celebrity' type people who are from there are skiers.
I've been to a lot of places while touring, but I'd have to say Switzerland was my favorite.
I've done an awful lot of skiing all over Europe: I've done Italy, Austria, France. I skied loads in New Zealand - I did pretty much every ski slope I could find.
Switzerland is a place where they don't like to fight, so they get people to do their fighting for them while they ski and eat chocolate.
I discovered Boulder not through cycling but skiing. I was recruited by the university for the ski team, and in my opinion, it's the best place for skiing - you have this super-light, fluffy champagne snow.
The skiing center of the world is southeastern Indiana, where I like to call home. It looks like the Alps there; it's crazy.
