  I have spent about 100 ski days in Davos over the last 20+ years with my Swiss wife. Whilst the majority of skiing is best described as intermediate there are, however, a number of challenging runs particularly on Jakobshorn, providing you are prepared to ride a T-Bar. The attraction of Davos is the off-piste skiing,but be prepared to do a bit of hiking. Be certain to sign up for the ski school off-piste group or higher a guide to show you around otherwise you will never find the skiing. Nothing can compare to skiing off the back side of a mountain on a powder day into the valley and walk into a traditional swiss restaurant for lunch and/or a drink. The guides know the bus and train timetables so you don't get caught out and have to pay for a taxi home.

  We found Davos good but inconveniently spread out, requiring bus travel and a lot of ski carrying to get from one main area (Jakobshorn) to the other (Parsenn- which connects with Klosters)- not ideal with children. Fine of you want some nice intermediate skiing followed by shopping! However the pistes were well groomed and there was lots of snowmaking after a sparse December. Great outdoor ice rink.

  Just had a week in Davos, What can I say? The place is fantastic, no need to go into detail as it was ALL excellent. Do yourself a favour and go, you will not be dissapointed.

  Returned just before Christmas. Great resort with good snow just as we were leaving. The set-up is a bit 'bitty' with one ski area at each end of town with a trip down the hill, across on the bus, then up again to get from one to the other. Am told there is some off-piste but wasn't the right time of year for me with the snow conditions. Lively night life too with Chamie (?Spelling) Bar and then Ex-Bar taking you through to morning (literally). I was there on an educational course so bit of a vested interest. Would recommend the resort for those looking for a good but not exhausting ski.

  Really good resort lots of terrian and nearly all fast quads lifts (except some t-bars in the smaller parts of the resort.

  The snowpark is small but good. Been to this resort two years running and there is usally a few kickers (this year 1 medium kicker-3m and one larger one-6m) There are also two really good halfpipes which are cut two times a week. Also the halfpipe is floodlit 2 nights a week if you're really desprate to ride :-D There are also lots of natural hits or take a shovel up the hill and build some hits.
