Obviously, the people who live on a mountain will know exactly where the best pow stashes and tree runs are going to be, and chances are that they won’t give up that information easily.

If you’re new to a resort or on holiday, have a little respect for this local knowledge; no one’s going to give a cheeky tip to obnoxious ski dads or obvious ski-tards still wearing their head cams in the bar; be friendly and maybe even buy seasonaires a cheeky pint in return for what could be one of the runs of your trip.

And it should go without saying, but if you do ever learn of a super secret spot don’t blab about it on Facebook/Instagram or in the nearest après bar, you don’t want it to be crowded or tracked out when you go back tomorrow do you?
