It may seem unlikely from her glamorous reputation, but St. Moritz is a good place to some to learn new tricks, there's a 90metre half pipe, a huge quarter pipe and jumps ranging in size from beginner to four meter jump-this-and-you-might-want-to-start-calling-yourself-a-pro size, which is why so many people come here to train, so you'll see a lot of new tricks being tried out at all levels.
Corviglia, the resort's main mountains, is a course in fast chutes into bowls, and has its own natural half pipe. The off piste runs at Marguns are known for their speed.
If you don't want to, or can't afford, to stay in glitzy St. Moritz, her surrounding villages are more relaxed.
