Sounds like feast or famine in the Euro ski mountains this season.
Pretty much famine so far…..
And with the post corona boom in Mountain sports, there are a lot to feed to boot!
Hopefully we'll change to feast. 1m+ easily possible this week.Quote:

Up to 50cm fell last night in the Valais
Attachment 441844
Not 50cm overnight, but woke up to snow on the ground in Klosters. Would be good if it got a smidge colder.

apparently they’ve arrested the “Hungarian thrillseeker”.

Will this turn in to a liability nightmare for the resort, US style?Quote:

In ze tschörman! :

The avalanche did not know they were experts.
What would be the charge then? Something like reckless endangerment, like if you were to cause a crash in a car you knew had faulty brakes?
In German we have some term that is best described as "negligence" or being careless causing an injury on the snowboarders side. But I doubt that'll hold up in Court because it's an accident. I have no idea because I'm not a dentist.Quote:

So we'll have another week of snow, which will not bring us back to average anyway...and then dry and warm in the forecast to infinity.
This is getting depressing:( There are the little spots I drive to for a few hours of skiing that I don’t know will open until???Quote:

In all other regions it's more like a Meter of base that's missing.
Not in arolla, but the Meter at 2800m is about average ;).
We'll get 50-70 until Tuesday, maybe a bit more in France. Wow.
And no, skiing lac leman is not very high on my to do list. But I get it the Grass is always greener in Verbier where the old English boys school tourists every day.Attachment 442479
Just wanted to pipe in it sucks over in the Weißwurst Alpen
Examples…..which all look like AprilQuote:

Some biggerish places like Grand Massif even shutdown mid last week :(
All in all looks like the snow will come during the week so the toothbrushes must be made…but hope the cold last until next weekend :)
@sp where you headed?

@sp where you headed?[/QUOTE]
Not sure yet. We thought Lötschental or arolla tomorrow and then chando for sunday because the o is a bit low until noon when the cold Front Hits. Just cruising around. My first non WROD days this season.
Edit: next weekend should also be good.

Keep me in the loop. Both weekends are a sh@@show on the scheduling side. What does Subltle say about my direction FR/IT next week(end)?
France should be good.
And today. I let the boys go alone. Im still pretty sick. I had the stuff in the car, but I made the responsible choice. Oh well....
But I definitely want to go next weekend with the family. But I don't think well make it to France. [emoji3]
The "problem" for this weekend is snowfall stops on thursday.
The General forecast Problem in the long term is pretty obvious in all Model runs.
Jeez subtle, still sick? Heal up.Quote:
