The 2024-25 ski season was a strange one for many reasons: weird weather and snowfall patterns, big developments in the gear industry, big upsets in the ski racing and freeride comp world, and the first winter that many backcountry skiers didn't have access to the 3D mapping tool FATMAP.

With a changing of the seasons comes a changing of the wardrobe. That’s what they say, right? Well, actually, come springtime, it’s time to ditch the extra insulation and hardshell outer layers and embrace the sun on the slopes! Slushy spring skiing closely rivals mid-winter pow skiing, but what you’ll want to wear is very different. Yes, it's perfectly alright to ski in a T-shirt, shorts or a bathing suit. Just remember to wear extra sunscreen.

The end of ski season can be a bittersweet time for us skiers, leaving us with a gaping hole in our lives normally occupied by faceshots, arcing turns on groomers and sharing chairlift rides with our buddies. Give it a few weeks, though, and you might remember the second joy in your life: mountain biking. If you’ve never tried it, you should, and if you have, you’re probably as obsessed with it as you are with sliding on snow.

We publish quite a few "best of" lists here at POWDER, and recently, we've enjoyed collaborating on them to provide a more well-rounded article. Today, each member of the POWDER staff has written about three or four ski runs that they think serve up the best views in the land. Each writer has pulled from personal experiences, and this list isn't conclusive of every ski run in the world. Rather, let this list serve as a representation of our personal experiences.

Steeped in skiing history, Chamonix, France, might well be one of the most famous ski towns on the planet. That’s for good reason, given the endless options for skiing here in one of the most stunningly beautiful parts of the Alps. Nestled at the foot of 15,766-foot Mont Blanc, this bustling small city and its surrounding towns offer an extremely civilized take on what it means to live and play in the mountains.
