I may be totally mistaken though. And I'd still enjoy a lame day of groomer skiing more than just about anything else. Austria sounds awesome.

I think you have touched upon something that very helpfully explains exactly what sparked this comparison in the first place. That is that the
type of skiing promoted by so many of the mountains in Austria is precisely of the sort featured in FIS competition.
