Yeah, here i am dealing with the worst wrods of man made ice sheets in middle of Feb pinballing between school groups and maniacs. If ever there was a time go get the rolly eye emoji to work again...

I'm impressed they didn't catch a plane back home. They looked well worn out from sleep deprivation and fatigue.
A bit disappointed in their choice in Bulgaria. For the kind of skiing these guys do, there are much better options. Well, at least I'm not worried that lukesnow will now follow them and blow up my home spots /laughing out loud emoji with tears/.
Looks like a decent top up coming tomorrow across CH

I'm not too worried about luke snow and the Alps either since last season he had and epic trip from lech to Stubai and skied all epic hidden gems like that ;)
And no I don't follow that clown either.
I will find out about the Valais wrods on the weekend with the family.
I've actually reinvented my self as a WROD skier. I specialise in it.

Kids are sick, Engelberg got 50+ and titlis was closed today. No Valais kids skiing tomorrow, but home pow pow for me. I can live with that I guess.
Good day to bunk school and go on a road trip!

Today was fun. Base is still kinda thin....galti the second time was bit adventurous down low at the exit traverse. All skis are rock skis.
First titlis tram was fun though. The roughly 2 minutes it lasted down to the flat ski out towards trübsee at least
[emoji23]
Met my old buddy Who showed me around in Engelberg 20 years ago the first time I was there and we shared stories. I was like "ah...I kind of knew you'd be in the first tram too" . He's one of the local locals and knows basically everyone. Still skied with random kooks from a message board in 2005 and showed us around.
I bailed at 13:30 after the second galti run as everything was tracked when we went up after the first at 12.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...63aaa7cfb2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8e863fa115.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6672dd07d9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8f90a6b2e1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a982c10719.jpg

Good call. How many grams of rat poison per kilo of kid to induce just enough sickness to cancel a family trip and go hit the fiddy cm in Eberg?Quote:

That depends on tolerance and constitution. There is an online calculator at getakidsfreeday.org
I'll check it out. I've got a couple I'd like to sedate for a decade or so until I can find suitable husbands to take over.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Starting on the 25th .....
And it's not necessarily a train anymore.

Question for you all... Im headed to Silvretta Montafon and St Anton in a few weeks with some friends. Is it wise to bring skins and touring gear? Not planning any big tours but are we going to want it to get in/out of off piste routes? Had been eyeing the Madrisa tour from Gargellen but not sure its worth bringing the extra sets of skis and boots just for that.
i was in Montafon last year. Did not have skins. I would definitely bring them. I watched stuff get skied off the top of the T bar at Gaschurn. I think it is the Burg lift. Straight forward tour out the ridge good looking lines. Maybe you could boot it but skins would be better. I think it is Versettlaspitze or Madresella on the map. It was our first trip to Europe so everything was new. We thought the tunnel bus was probably the highlight. I would definitely take that ride and tour out there. I think it is called the Silvretta Bielerhohe. Skied Gargellen but was not awre of that tour.
What skis you planing to bring?Quote:

Im on some Lines with Shifts and 105 underfoot. Others in my group would have to bring another set of skis with tech bindings. Always nice to travel light but it seems like both may be the way to go pending the forecast. Thanks all.Quote:

Any how to recommendations including good places to eat would be appreciated.
You are alright with your setup for exploring. Have the skins in your backpack. If you won’t push 3k vert no need for shlepping.Quote:

Redemption for a month of ice. Feels good to be back on 3D snow.

Valluga is a 20 min bootpack and lots of space. We skied freshies in Hochkar yesterday. Skinned up but could’ve bootpacked. And today straight of Albona down to Langen Forest there was still space. Wasn’t as bad as I expected. Touring does open up some great options thoughQuote:

Looks like that pattern change do 2/5s of F-All.
pattern change schmattern change. There are some signals for the south. But the range ist still big. 10 to 200cm until next Tuesday. I wouldn't yet count on anything.
And who said anything of a pattern change except some social media charlatans anyway? ;)
