my prediction: snow up high. everywhere.
good lord. did someone forget to take their ritalin?
yes. but i compensated with lots and lots of valium. ;)
btw. the nice trend for next week is slowly dying........ :(
... because Austria truly sucks:
Skiing down Golzentipp was really bad on Monday (photo by Annemarie Moser-Pröll):

There was no powder on the Kitzsteinhorn on Wednesday & Thursday (photo by Hansi Hinterseer):

Wow that looks like it really sucked. Thank god I haven't been in Austria this season.
Now please excuse me while I find my gun to shoot myself with...
you want to miss the dump next week ?
of damn.. here.. i jinxed it, go ahead.. ;)
weekend update:
saturday - nice pow at SSB, light on top half, heavy below, however visibility quickly deteriorated. the pow turns were great while they lasted (and much appreciated). it even started snowing as we left.
sunday - a five star spring day at the combe. it must've snowed a bit overnight coz the combe was virtually untracked. bluebird and no competition for lines, we tracked out the first pitch all day till the clouds rolled in around 3pm.
sadly, no pics, i forgot my camera. :mad:
My buddy Ronny reports of 40 cm of freshies in Engelberg having fallen from sunday to monday.
Travelers to e-berg have to factor in the possibility that Ronny tries to make me into a glowing red envious furball of..... envy (which he pretty much succeeded in ;))
I can report lots of snow in La Grave and Alpe d'Huez over the weekend:

Was very nice last week in Cervina/Zermatt, but with heavy crust southern aspects, with more snow falling today. Skied Porta Nera with a little variation (20min skin) and got basically boot->knee deep pow the whole way (though I was teleing ;) )

Leysin, Suisse
Altitude 1264m
Snow line is outside my window.
And it has been very wet as for the last 2 days.
When this breaks, if not sooner, get on it!!!
the models say andermatt/engelberg. im not sure though because these sw air flow lows aren't any good for those aspects. last time G3 got the most ;)Quote:
