Snow for the Euros.

**Bzzzt** · 03-06-2006, 09:57 AM

Hello!

Two friends of mine (lovely, Norwegian girls, btw

) are flying to Torino tomorrow. They are renting a car and have planned to stay at least one night in Alagna. I think they should go further east and north.

If someone has recommendations, that would be greatly appreciated!

Skied bottomless at Engelberg today....Jockesburg(sp) was epic down to the lake , and Laub was fackin tasty with a little crust downlow. Plus, the Yucatan has two pitchers for 17 francs.......oh yeah. Things are pretty stable, nothing natural observed and most everything has tracks/bridging.

Off to a party with the Swedes, skiing is damn good and its still snowing. Aww yeah.

Hit it like a sledgehammer, Zack! I can imagine the tall, skinny, shiteating grin now....

**Franz Klammer** · 03-06-2006, 01:25 PM

I see CantDog is now quietly padding his post count in the Snow for the Euros Thread ...

Where the hell are the teaser pictures ... of the hot Swedish blondes!

**subtle plague** · 03-06-2006, 04:04 PM

more precip on the way. snow levels will be an issue. at leats in sw france it could rain to 2000m. 1500m in cham id guess. this is for the system hitting on wednesday. it will be warmest on thursday.

the pattern doesn't change. western airflow with warmth and moisture, then northwestern airflow with cooler air and moisture. no end in sight. this could turn into another 99.

next sytem will hit friday. and another big one might hit monday(though we're moving into the "hey anything can happen" timescale....and it is not certain) aye caramba. cham would be in the epicenter all the time but NW /N switz and the rest of france would get their share too.

if this turns out like it seems cham would hit 4-4.5m easily at 2000m

**Arno** · 03-06-2006, 04:31 PM

Well it was pretty nice in Les2Alpes this weekend gone. Wildstyle and I found some v nice stashes (one in particular...)

Looks like my trip to Monte Rosa in 10 days may be off the hook

Powslut,

There is a high chance that I'll be back in your territory together with Hansi Hinterseer around March 26/27/28. This time we have the touring skis with us.

If you meet Asle, a tall dark norwegian guy who is rippin on some old Big Daddys, say hi from me :-)

Good to know you're finding Engelberg in the best possible conditions. Are you satisfied??

Be carefull out there :

So far in the 05/06 season in France :
84 avalanche related accidents
42 with casulaties
48 death (26 skiing or boarding off-piste - 19 while touring.)

A very bad year so far, and the recent dumpage wont help.

**Hicks** · 03-07-2006, 04:38 PM

From the Arlberg so far:

Today was up to plenty of face shots in some spots - Jungbrunntobel and Rendl were off the hook today. Bring your snorkels!

**verbier61** · 03-08-2006, 01:54 AM

indren lift will be closed in alagna for all the remaining part of the season

apparent reason: they spent too much for artificial snow up to few weeks ago

**CantDog** · 03-08-2006, 01:59 AM

Yesterday was absolutely epic, 1 meter of super light new snow on the Jochstock side meant 700 meters of facshots, repeated all afternoon. I'm not really sure of the name of the area I've been skiing, but traverse skiers right off the top of Jochstock and ski that down to the lake next to Trubsi. Kinda next to the Steinberg.

Laub was good but tracked up, hugging the ridge gave freshturns all the way down.

Brunni side was really good in the morning, traversed skiers right off the Poma out to the next bowl over and skied down to the trainstop below Engelberg.

Easily the best day of skiing I've ever had. Morning was storm skiing on the Bruni side, afternoon was bluebird pow on the Titlis side. Not too bad.

**subtle plague** · 03-08-2006, 04:03 AM

the nextwave is hitting right now.
then another on friday.
get it as long as you can.
snow levels will rise today to 1200-1400m i'd guess.
much lower again on friday afternoon.

and then it looks like summertime from sunday on

i hope the italian low on friday sets the circulation right and prevents this....or else im screwed....

that is effin redonkulous

i am going next weekend and have gone from super-stoked to feeling like someone has pissed on my chips

**verbier61** · 03-08-2006, 04:35 AM

arno, it will be boring because you will skin instead of using the lift, but there's a lot of snow right now and more is coming

**Arno** · 03-08-2006, 04:49 AM

yes, I should count my blessings. I was thinking of cancelling a few weeks ago due to lack of snow
skinning on Legend Pros is hard work, but I did put Freerides on them so I don't have any excuses

I will be in St. Anton starting March 25 with some friends, it would be great to hook up for some turns, tours, and beers.

Powslut,
Is Korona Apartments a good choice, or do you have another suggestion?

Dam, I can't wait to get to yrup, sounds like things have turned around.

**powslut** · 03-08-2006, 11:56 AM

That were prolly mine.

Heading back home tonight for work, slacking is over.

**subtle plague** · 03-09-2006, 02:02 PM

any update from france?

the new nukeage should arrive soon.
what has become of the last one ?

**bbirtle** · 03-09-2006, 06:45 PM

Today at Les Grands Montets -- snow from last night and the day before seemed to be 30-60cm I suppose, hard to guess since it was all a sludgy thick mess due to snow-rain limit being so high. Should be better up higher but then there were winds as well, so, basically the base just keeps getting better in Chamonix but the last storm hasn't delivered a great deal.

Somebody give me ideas, I want to do a road trip. How's things over in Switzerland? Other French resorts? I want to ski pow!!! Anybody up for it?

**blondin** · 03-10-2006, 01:56 AM

was better up high but not much opened in cham...yesteday afternoon very late the aig opened for a select few who happened to be "hanging" around 1m of new wind affected snow and variable vis. forecast for today is slightly better but many lifts remain closed....
another 20-30 is in the forecast for tonight better weather expected for monday!!!
ski on dude...
