This week we were lucky enough to catch up with Warren Miller Ski Movie star and legend Dan Egan to talk about his most recent trip - Heliskiing in Alaska.

It was fantastic to see the passion and enthusiasm from somebody that has skied pretty much everywhere, in the very best conditions, and yet still he talks like it's his first turns in powder...it's definitely not!   

Enjoy the ride :)

Spotlight on Heiligenblut, Carinthia
How do you get to Heiligenblut?
London Stanstead to Klagenfurt with Ryanair
2 hour drive through lovely scenery and then up a long valley where right at the end, you get to Heiligenblut.
Whats the town actually like…
It’s not big it’s really a village so it’s pretty quiet there’s some lovely hotels there including the 4* Kärntnerhof which is where I stayed. The standard of the hotel accommodation is really high and the food was excellent too. It’s very much settle into the hotel territory and enjoy relaxing, it’s not party central.
The skiing
It’s definitely for the more adventurous skier
It’s not a huge resort in terms of the mileage with around 50km’s of marked runs The longest is 10 kilometres
Really good snow record and the village is at 1300 metres and it goes up to 2600 metres

The mix of really long runs and the off-piste terrain is the draw, plus the scenery and the fact it’s such a cool mountain

Starting in the Italian Alps in mid-January, Ben and Clau travelled up towards the French Alps, where they took in their first ten resorts, ranging from Serre Chevalier, Les2Alpes, Alpe d’Huez and the huge Les 3 Valleés area, before ending their French leg in Chamonix, where the couple got engaged just a year ago. 

With no time to waste, they went on to Switzerland to take in the luxurious resorts of Crans Montana and St Moritz, before embarking on a three-week Austrian fest, hitting its finest resorts of St Anton, Ischgl, Kitzbuhel, Saalbach, Mayrhofen and Soelden. 

Finally, they  headed back towards the Italian Dolomites to end their seven-week ski-marathon in Livigno, Bormio and Madonna di Campiglio. 

Phew!
