The ideal snowboard terrain

Beyond snow parks, here is what to look for in all-mountain snowboarding:

Wide, well-groomed pistes

Resorts with wide pistes are ideal for snowboard carving:

Val Gardena: perfect motorway runs
Alta Badia: velvet corduroy
Sestriere: wide Olympic pistes

Off-piste snowboarding

Expert riders seek powder and natural terrain:

Alagna: freeride capital, superb on a board
Cervinia: open slopes above 3,000 m
Sella Nevea: abundant snow in the Julian Alps

Flat sections: where to watch out

A chronic snowboard problem is flat connecting sections. Resorts where extra care is needed:

Sellaronda: some connecting sections require skating
Resorts with many cat-track style connections

Tip: before choosing a resort, check the trail maps and look for runs with consistent vertical drop.
