that could be. i was going by what the website says. once it reopens i would guess that only the glacier drags will be open. not really enough terrain to reap the benefits of the pow.Quote:

Any ideas on whether engelberg will catch any of this? their website forecasts rain but doesnt give the freezing level
A buddy just texed me: knee to hip deep in Zermatt today.... :eek:
And i'm already gone... :fuckyou: .
anyone in CH up for some skiing this weekend? Saturday looking good for Zermatt.Quote:

I'm seriously considering the 900km(500mile) drive. But i'm not sure yet. Most people over here think i'm crazy, especially after having spend all season over there in Valais.Quote:

Hmmm...
"Too bad" I promised wife and kiddo to go bouldering in Bleau. I woulda loved to git sum.
Bleau was great this last weekend. Was fairly warm at times but generally good conditions. Am always blown away by the consistent quality of the problemsQuote:

Skiers right off Furggsattel always seems a pretty safe bet. Skied a bunch there in febuary and saw no tell tale signs of any spalten.
And IF the lifts work, Garten is def spalten free as it's off the glacier!
Considering it, but not sure yet. Besides that, i have to have someone to go with me. Seems most people over here already switched to summer mode :cussing: .Quote:

Ok, so who is skiing in CH this weekend????????????????
Tempting.
maybe. anyone there how wants to share gazcosts from mannheim/heidelberg/ka/freiburg/basel ?
would ski zermatt sa/su, then turn to pitztal (seasonticket)...
maybe.. anyone going by car and leaving from somewhere in between innsbruck and zermatt? zürich, st anton?
edit: doesnt even have to be zermatt as long as theres pow.. :p
Am based in Zurich, would drive down, at the moment dont have anyone to ski with as all my usual partners are busy.
Engelberg is also high enough, would also be a bit less driving, no idea how much snow they will get though
stantonbum, sent you a PM with my cell # etc
It's cold and wet in Leysin.
If freeze line is at 2200m, then life in Zermatt will be good.
Still tempted, might be on early mission.
PM with mobile# if anyone heads to Zermatt.
Maybe see you there.
you got a PMQuote:

Yeah it would be cool to meet up with some other mags. We will be driving from Zurich HBF at 6.20 tomorrow morning. There is still space in the car.Quote:

i think about driving sunday/monday.
anyone willing to share car+gaz+bed ?
does anyone of you (stanton, tele...) know the area ?
pn 4 cell.
5-10cm of fresh at the top of the Bochard (2700m). Rain/Snow limit 2000-2300 today. Nice soft piste for testing new skis
It's supposed to clear tomorrow for a good powder day, having rained here in town all day...
I'm going climbing. Maybe I'm in denial but I thought the season was over. Planning to do another 200m multipitch at Barbarine, woohoo! Bring on summer!
(...but I do hope those of you still psyched on skiing rip up some nice turns.)
