Andermatt makes #9 on this list
I only ski the top two. I only ski real destination resorts!
Where's Splugen on that list?

Wait, what? the lifts are moving and the mountain's open?
Fuck me, c'mon. Alias Rice and Chuckles were ready to hop in the next ganjala witme. Getting firsties while the mags hoot from the ganjy.
So many deep sweet turns and funny shit happening. I memba Chuckles throwing a heli offa some lil booter and getting slapped on the landing. Took a second to shake that one off and a private ride up with Dad.
Can't wait to play witchu mags again.
Faceshot lap after lap at Splugen with ours the only tracks, joining up and splitting off the various subgrumbles. A day of many Santas.
It's the offpop spots that r00l, so many stashed away in the nooks and crannies of the Alps.
I wonder what vendul and his cadre of skispies across Graubunden with sort this coming year. San Bernardino? Wangs? Tschiertschen? Time will tell.
I think of the locals who thought they'd be skiing pow for days after the storm-on-Splugen day. Little did they know that the TRGZ were in the otherwise empty parking lot, prepping to slaughter the lamb.
We killed that place. I think lindenle and Swerve skied with some local up and comin wannabe pro types. I'm sure their eyes were opened...JH style. Those two can charge it.
Well put. It was lap after merciless lap of pow-slaying. Fresh lines all day.Quote:

That was such a great day bell to bell! One of those days I’ll think about for years. FKNA.

Ha, I forgot about these little life lessons...
He's a great kid and you're a fine Dad. Quite looking forward to turning with you two again.
I was just trying to remember the name of that long ganjala - Schiferbahn?
I think the trailer that Vendul towed over to Splugen had about $25-30k in ski gear in it.
Then there was the fat first day at Disentis, first lap we were debating stability and Mrs. Shroom goes shooting by...Welp, gotta go.
Watching mags slay powder, getting caught in terrain traps and being yelled at by old lifties. FKNA.
I couldn't win with that dude. Came back to the lift wrong everytime. rofl
Splugen! They were sponsored or made a film for some clothing company.

P.s. That dude ate it big time when he missed the ice tranny from on to off piste. Full bell ringer.
I've been delinquent in not posting things from the Euro Grumble of last year's persuasion...
I didn't have many photos that really show the scale of andermatt, this one has Bruce and Brian making some sweet turns (gotta look close).... Next one, Bruce had a birthday, so veuve cliqueot naturally... Finally, a look at some food from Mt lodge kitchen/chef, fantastic and wonderful... Totally exceeded any expectations, so, so much fun, and at the end of it all, such a reasonable and affordable trip... If you are at all considering...go.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...daf4a1e717.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...81aefba8f8.jpg

I think it's the Giraffe.
I was hoping you two would speak to what zone that is...I couldn't remember any of the names...but, I think its the Giraffe as well (I didnt attempt the Vorgipfel...)
This is the Vorgipfel:
https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...3&d=1714628527
It's on the West side of the Gemsstock, easy view from the Felsental side, the Giraffe is on the East side with a sketchy traverse access.
Yeah that sounds right. Bigger than the Vorgipfel.
Damn I love this mountain.
Word is getting out… next issue of Ski Journal…

Lotsa cool stuff from past years...
But for now, and just throwing it out here. Who's in for 2025?
It's gonna be great!
Yer gonna have to suffer thru my insufferability again. Fuuuuuuuck.
Djongo's in.
I've only met and skied with a couple of mags and am really looking forward to hanging out and skiing for a week with you kooks.
SkaredShtles is in, along with my lovely bride, and my middle kid (22yo).
I’m in… Arrive at Mt-Lodge at the end of February and am staying for a month. Gonna be Epic!
Hey, the kettle is cooking, glad to see :) C'mon mags, sign up, don't let Djongo scare you away!
