In the world, skiing is basically divided into two types, one is skiing on a specific ski resort, and the other is ski Off-piste. Especially in North America and Northern Europe, the Off-piste field is extremely rich due to the weather. Even in the ski resort, due to the natural geographical factors, the terrain and snow quality of the snowfield is quite wild. This also makes the skiers in the two regions fall in love with slipping off-piste, and the skiing videos in the network are basically completed in the wild snow. Today, let’s take a look at what is the difference between skiing on a ski resort and off-piste.
If you want to compare the difference between the ski resort and off-piste, you can basically do it from the aspects of crowd density, safety, snow area, snow quality, snowy slope, scenery, and challenges.

Since skiing is a winter sport, there are more than three months of winter every year. During this limited time, skiers from all over the world gather in the ski resort. If you have been to some famous ski resorts, you will find that there are many people ski on the slopes. At that time, for the ski novices, you can slowly learn the ski basics and do not need too long sliding distance. But for the skiing veteran, it is not so fun, they can't always enjoy themselves due to crowds, and they need to be distracted at all times.
But things can be different when skiing off-piste. Choose a windy and beautiful winter day, with three or five snow friends, climb up the mountain together, bring good equipment, and then set off, all the way down the mountain, unimpeded. You don't need to compete with others for the whole process and don't need to worry that someone suddenly pops up. Just enjoy the feeling of speeding on the snowy road.
Ski safety
Ski safety is a very serious issue that must be taken seriously. Be sure to recognize your level, the ski resort has a variety of snow trails, experienced ski instructors, emergency medical team and enthusiastic skiers. In the snow resort, there are many people can help you. If you are a ski rookie, please don't challenge to ski off-piste. It is important to practice basic skills.
Safety on off-piste is actually unknown. Snow is naturally exposed, there are no road signs, no service personnel, and some are just endless snow and unknown terrain. Therefore, you must have full confidence in your skiing skills before you can try to ski off-piste, but also try the first time with the help of people full of experience.
Snow area
The ski area has been planned from the very beginning, including the specific conditions of the snowy slope, and skiers can only ski in the limited area of the ski resort.
Off-piste is different. In addition to the restricted area prescribed by the state, basically, you can slide to any place you want to go, as long as there is snow. This is very important. When your skiing skills reach a certain height, many people are longing to skate freely.
Snow quality
Every winter, when a new snow falls, it is also the time for the snow resort to open. The snow resort will artificially build powder snow through the new snow. A good snow resort will be covered with powder snow and fresh snow, and the general snow resort (weather causes.) may be artificially made. The power snow is harder, and the skiers are much more slippery, which will make the snowy slope hard, and the chance of injury will increase very high.
The snow quality of off-piste is 100% natural snowfall, and it is accumulated for a long time, and some half-waist deep snow is very common. This kind of snow quality is very suitable for skiing, soft and comfortable, the resistance is small and easy to turn, and the snow fluttering during skiing feels very good. Skiers, who have basically slipped off-piste can obviously fall in love with wild snow.
Snow slopes
In the snowfield, the beginner run, the primary run, the intermediate run, and the advanced run will be clearly separated to suit different levels of skiers. Foreign grades are generally divided into practice roads < Green Run < Blue Run < Black Run < Double Black Diamond. These snow trails have been designed and the skiers slide there repeatedly.
In comparison, wild snow has no snowy roads. It is a natural snowfield. Every place you walk in can be called a snowy road. You must decide the snowy road before the climbing process, or experienced skiers can temporarily decide their own ski route during the downhill process. This wild snow is full of challenges and unknowns, and it is also the root of many snow friends obsessed with wild snow.
The Scenery
Compared with ski resorts, wild ski resorts are generally located in the alpine areas and can see the broad snow scene and the appearance of the original ecological nature. The vast snowy landscape that is endless and white and innocent is sure to be forgotten by every skier who has slipped off-piste. It has the effect of purifying the human mind. It frees you from the noisy life and comes to a pure snow world. .There are also many snowfields built in the beautiful scenery of the mountains, such as Lake Louise in the United States, Aspen, and the European Alps ski area.
Challenge
In fact, all the friends who slipped off-piste, most of them are tired of the track mode inherent in the snowfield. So they will choose wild snow. Off-piste is full of unknown characteristics and is destined to cater to the challenging and unyielding spirit of skiers. Every free-loving skier wants to skate freely and challenge himself in the snow. This process of conquering himself is a rare experience. In general, slippery snow is a great experience and an addictive experience but the premise is that you have a full range of skiing skills, and it is best to have a companion. Because skiing is a combination of speed and skill, it is inevitable that there will be accidents. It is best to have a companion. As for the novice skiers, I suggest that you should strengthen your basic skills in the snowfield and try wild snow.
