Ski Austria Like a Local with Katie Burrell - Kitzbühel

There’s a ski trip, and then there’s a ski trip to Austria. But why does this country hold such a special place in ski culture? Katie Burrell, Canada’s pride and joy (step aside, Sean Pettit), is showing us around in this new series aimed at giving you an inside look at what it means to explore Austria like a local. You don’t have to live there to be welcomed with open arms. Touring, groomers, freeride; it’s all here. And the skiing is just the beginning.

With a new episode dropping every other Thursday, Burrell will be diving into Ischgl, Arlberg, Sölden, Kitzbühel, SkiWelt, Zell am See, and Schladming. Nightlife, great food, incredible skiing and better people; it’s all on the table.

We’re heading to Kitzbühel, where the sheer number of runs is the only thing that tops the amenities. With 58 chairlifts, 145 miles of runs and nearly 4,000 vertical feet of skiing, Kitzbühel blends luxury with true Austrian skiing like nowhere else. Burrell finds this out firsthand, as she and expert guide Sam ski and snack their way across the miles and miles of stellar groomers. Chances that you ski across your own tracks twice? Practically zero. With so much great piste skiing, it only makes sense that Kitzbühel is the home of the first-ever Ski World Cup. If long runs, aprés Schnaps, and a lifestyle with international flair are what you’re looking for, then you’ve found your bucket list trip.
