Mount Everest: Schneevorhersage

This is a great 'resort' that has more of a back country vibe to it compared to a typical commercialized ski resort. The terrain is very diverse and boasts the most vertical of any ski area catering to more advanced skiers and boarders. Ski conditions are typically 'blower', literally, as winds commonly surpass 90km/hr. And there are a few scattered terrain/crevasse parks that even the most seasoned adrenaline junkies will find challenging. Lift access is via Sherpa and can take anywhere from several weeks to 3 months, so bring snacks as on-mountain catering is limited. During high season, the mountain can appear to be fairly crowded. However, most of the other people are actually dead mountaineers of decades past long forgotten but perfectly preserved by the frigid temperatures of the unforgiving local climate. Apres' is pretty average with one main bar called base camp which serves the typical fare of porridge and boiled water. [note from the editor: an interesting 'review'.]
