TUSC EU Edition PART 1







I could go one for days with images from this trip. "Unfortunately" I have been stuck here studying in Rome this semester...where there is no snow. But I managed to make the 10 hour bus ride to Cervina, Italy. The resort borders Switzerland and Italy, and for 10 euros (about $13) more you can ride in both countries. For the days we were there, the swiss side was shut down due to high winds and avalanche warnings which were at 4 out of 5 on the Italy side too. As for the riders, these people are lame as hell. Almost no one boards, everyone is wearing skin tight gear, and from what I saw no one knows how to throw down. So much opportunity and I saw no one taking advantage of it. The back country was incredible. 3-4ft of fresh powder everywhere. Cliffs and natural hits all over the place. I recommend this trip to everyone who has the chance to take it. The season is pretty much year round, and a plane ticket will run you around $600. The lift tickets are the same as home and you can ride for weeks without ever touching the whole mountain. TUSC owns the alps SON!...
