Snow for the Euros.

[Mulletizer]

Hope you have a good one. I've always thought it looks like an awesome race and I'd love to do it just for its history but I've been put off by the crowds (and especially the Brit crowd it attracts).

Any mags in the St Moritz area want to take some laps? I’ll be riding solo Sunday-Tuesday

Sounding increasingly like the La Grave lift will be closed for the winter. Replacement of the defective gondola cable did not go to plan... Long story short, a cable drum got ripped through the wall of the mid station (2400 aka Peyrou d'Amont), one pylon is crushed, another is damaged. They are still assessing the situation but things don't look good.

With the financial difficulties they’ve had over the past years, could this conceivably be the final nail in the coffin and the end of the Teléphérique? That would be a hudge loss to the ski community [emoji853]

Hey TOLOCOMan, seems like Ullr likes you. Some new snow on the horizon for Salzburgerland, more for Karintia.
Tempted to take the 12 hr drive and ski Molltaler Wed-Fri.

Finally a solid dump in the south.
And decent refresh for the val thorns pro in the West.

But watch the deep in instability in the south.

I have a Brit friend who got me into the Kandahar ski club; the torchlight parade through the village was fun culminating with the burning of the devil. It’s definitely a serious ski racing vibe and they didn’t really laugh when they asked my wax preference and I said “Brazilian.”

The actual race was fun albeit a shit show. My start time was 1510 and the course was a toboggan run; deep ruts, ice,
Cattle style vibrations and people throwing it full send and exploding. I would definitely do it again…

whoa. thanks for sharing that news. I follow them on instagram but haven’t been on there much lately. hope that doesn’t too terribly impact the couple of hotels etc there

Crazy. Skiers Lodge Instagram posts from today make it seem like business as usual. Everything‘s good.

[TOLOCOMan]

Well, some god sure liked me yesterday with 2 Canadians on the podium in Kitzbuhel! That alone made the trip worth it!

But it would be nice if we get some snow! I've skied the same number of groomers I would in 10 years the last 2 weeks!

If the train tunnel was open to Molltaller, I would hit it for sure, but a bit too much of a drive around for me.

[subtle plague]

I think the flow should be strong enough to push something to Sportgastein.

Telepherique in La Grave is supposed to be back up and running March 15, in the meantime for people who pre-purchased tickets somehow, they are going to have a shuttle to Les 2 Alpes.

[banzai]

Indeed awesome result on the fearsome Streif!
Molltaler is really thin on coverage, but forecast was promising up to a point. Its gone meh since, not worth the drive for me anymore.
Still some snow coming in though. Perhaps Obertauern could be bluebird nice on Wed-Thu and fingers crossed you get the possible refresh over the weekend.

This is what I feared as well. But, France being France, there is a high probability that the state would step in to keep it running.

The announced reopening for 15th March sounds a bit optimistic to me. I'd love to be proved wrong but a like-for-like repair is going to involve copious amounts of concrete which isn't going to be straightforward in below freezing temperatures. Maybe they've decided to repair it some other way. Anyway, I feel for everyone there who has been trying to stay afloat with the trickle of tourists there's been in LG - this winter the trickle will be barely a drip. It's sad to see how much quieter the place has become since I last lived there in 2005: fewer businesses, fewer jobs, fewer young people, less life. Like the extended closure of the road from Bourg d'Oisans a few years ago, this isn't going to help.

[Foggy_Goggles]

Please keep up updated on the LG situation. How you write that Al is just sad. It really needs just one think to keep it ticking over and that is the lift.

[TOLOCOMan]

Don't know wtf has happened to the quote function on here, but not working for me these days...

Anyways, yeah, still looking like some decent snow tomorrow. Hopefully not rain. Might make the Schladming GS a bit miserable. Was in Zauchensee today, and I'd say their coverage was better than most places we've been, and I assume Obertauren would be similar. So if tomorrow actually delivers, I might actually get to use my bigger skis yet! So far, I've been lugging them around for no point for 3 weeks!

[Hicks]

Verbier delivered 2nd half of last week. Still plenty to get after off the beaten path by the time we - sadly - had to leave.

in case anyone was wondering about my powder alert and the touchy deep instabilities in the south...

and since i can't edit anymore. One dead brit in chamonix. But I can assure you the Baz has been accounted for. They found him passed out in the spa around 8pm.

[subtle plague]

loads of close cally all overthe alps where guys were buried but found alive.

[McDee]

Oh wow, that looks terrifying

Imagine standing in the lift line and watching that coming down at you.
