Hi there,

It looks like my partner is about to land a job in Basel (how awesome is that?) as part of the interview process we've both been invited over and they will furnish us with ski passes for a resort of our choice (I think?)

I was just wondering what resorts are near Basel that have good runs for advanced skiiers? groomed \ ungroomed.

Never been to that region and would love to hear your thoughts.

Skiing during the weekend? bring it on :)

Cheers T1b :)
Finally went off Piste!

I would head for the Jungfrau ski region (Grindelwald, Mürren, Wengen) about 2 1/2 hrs by train http://www.jungfrauregion.ch/

Swiss Railways do a package that includes; rail travel, lift pass and ski hire http://www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/day-trips/snownrail.angebotdetail.tagesausfluege-snownrail-saanerlandberner_oberland-jungfrau_skiregion.html

The SBB also have some special offers on accommodation that might be worth a look http://www.sbb.ch/content/sbb/en/desktop/freizeit-ferien/ferien-kurz-trips-schweiz/spezialangebote.html?_charset_=UTF-8&start=0&keyword=®ion=berneroberland&recommendation=desc

When we came for an interview 20 odd years ago the company sent us to Zermatt for the weekend, to get used to the mountains.

Hope the interview goes well.

The company will most likely issue you a Snow'n'rail ticket mentionned here above by SwingBeep you might be interested at Central Switzerland particularly Titlis/Engelberg quite demanding skiing here:

40 years ago they didn't think of this kind of offer. The fact they invited you over tells me you got the job !
