Ski the Very
Best Off-
Piste Runs
Free-skier Paddy
Graham has
made a name for
himself in the
slope style scene.
These are his
favourite spots“La Grave is
a sleepy French
town offering an
array of off-piste
runs with a huge
amount of vertical
skiing. There isn’t
a single machine-
prepared run.”“It’s hard to
pinpoint a specific
run, but Japan
has the best, low-
stress skiing in
the world. Time it
right and it isn’t
unusual to find
eight metres of
fresh pow at any
off-piste slope
on any resort.”“Alaska may be
the iconic ski
destination, but it
can come with a
hefty price tag. If
you’re heli-skiing,
though, it’s
worth it: there
are thousands of
crazy wilderness
runs available.”“Georgia may not
evoke images of
a skiers’ paradise,
but the town of
Mestia is a real
gem. Heli-skiing,
ski touring, and
resort skiing are
all options against
the backdrop
of the colossal
Caucasus
Mountains, home
of Europe’s
highest peak.”GOING DOWNHILL FAST
