Lifts usually run until Early May.
Edit: and I doubt any lifts will be running with the incoming mega storm System.

Rainy as F here in GE the past days so probably dry until Feb. ;)
Make sure the new Grand Montets is operational if you go there. Think its supposed to be done this year?Quote:

Nice to see Europe getting hit early wish I hadn't chosen this to be the year I get a local seasonal condo would be ready to book a flight tomorrow quick relative/work visit. Fly with boots only and be stoked with 3-4 days.
Next week looks pretty dope in the west. I may get the magic pass ( late I know 150 more than in may...) because my whole crew has it and i have a week scheduled in the lötschental with the kids....Quote:

Doing the snow dance for a goodie early season!! On the ticket front I am in the Wallis for a week in Feb with the fams. Thought the Magic Pass was a deal but just checked a 7 day pass Val A pass. 290CHF for adults and 150 for kids. Would need to ski a bunch in CH Magic Pass resorts to make that work.Quote:

It can work, but you need very similar or basically the same helmets/goggles. Last time I was on paper cards/tickets was in 2017 in Japan.
If you have a keycard and load online there ain't no pictures...Quote:

Can they take pics of everyone? Maybe I've only been in backward ski areas.... [emoji3]
Dude, Im Bulgarian, here we hold 1st place in the EU for many backward stats :fmicon: but when I load my card online on the way to the lifts, a pic is automatically snapped on the first pass trough the gate (cameras integrated in each gate) and compare it every time I go again. There is basically a guy in each gate booth, who stares at the screen the whole day comparing pictures, preying, hunting for passes to pull lol https://www.skidata.com/en-gb/soluti...access-control

Spoke to a “lifty” they ignore the alarm for picture not corresponding.
They take a picture and estimate height everytime you pass through the gate. Attachment 474683

K and I did this for years when whippersnapper #2 skied only the bunny hill and she took #1 in the AM or PM for real runs. Never had an issue and K is about 1/2 a Geo ;) worked at Saas, Les D, etc so not somewhere small like Champex. That being said that was a good few years back so Skidata might have sold the areas some fancy new shit.Quote:

That being said I think the Magic Pass checking is more systematic. I remember last year at Villar/Les D checkers in-line with iPad thingies. But as noted the price I just saw for 7 days is 40CHF a day and kids 22. Tough to beat unless you are teacher with all those holidays and can get your money out of the small area days on the Magic pass.Quote:

Only the latest generation of ski data gates have the camera integrated.Quote:

Might be right in AT but in CH (Leysin) they have done this for awhile for season passes. The daily joe I think got a pass (no pun intended)Quote:
