Piste-Off.com is the website for skiers and snowboarders who have become 'disillusioned' with the commercialism and crowds at the big downhill resorts in Europe and North America.
Site last updated Friday 6th June 2008
We aim to provide information and contacts on ski mountaineering, ski touring, off-piste skiing and piste skiing at the worlds wilder and more off-beat ski resorts.
Signposts & Warnings A new photo gallery with some weird signposts and warnings from around the world, thanks to David Roberts.
