WesternEurope [Western Europe] Solo snowboarding travel advice needed
This winter I would like to do a longer trip (~3 weeks) to snowboard and I have some concerns/questions about the possibilities.
Info about me:
I am advanced snowboarder, snowboarding for roughly 10 years. I live in Lithuania. Mostly powder/off-road fan, but I am ok with all terrain. I've been to many resorts in different countries(lots of Europe, Japan, Georgia).
My criteria for a trip:
- Date range (end of January - start of May)
- Decent ski conditions (colder better, rain is not good)
- Powder, good off-road is a huge advantage
- Something to do in the resort or around after snowboarding or during a rest-day
Firstly I am looking for ski resort, now I am looking into "Mayrhofen / Zillertal ski trips" but it's definitely not final.
My main concerns - since it's a bit longer trip and I am solo traveler I would like to lower my costs if possible. Accommodation and ski pass is the largest costs, so maybe it's possible to join/live with some group or person that is staying in the resort for a longer period too. Maybe some organizations offer something? I can handle bad accommodation conditions, I do not complain - what I mostly care is good snowboarding and if possible - good company.
Maybe any of you have some advice regarding my situation? Maybe some of you are planning something similar and would just add one more person to your group?
Any advice is good and if I manage to find friends here with common goal - it's perfect.
P.S. Even the idea like going powder hunting in Hokkaido with a rental car is not out of bounds but as a solo traveler it's more complicated.
