I like lifts, sue me [emoji16]
More or less saying I’ll go with the flow but not headed to the Alps with the mission of bragging about how much vert I climbed.
Don’t doubt the touring is top notch

One more little bit of advice which everyone may already know....
Think about your phone situation. I have T-moblie and while their service here is not always the best they have pretty much unlimited, no-extra-charge connectivity in western Europe and many other locales. These days their $50 a month (for one phone - way cheaper per phone if you pile them on) unlimited deal is no contract and gives unlimited text, data and most calls while you're over there. Over last winter I used a ton of data in Japan and Europe mapping, booking travel, finding restos and hotels etc. and never got charged an extra penny.
been reading along & this sounds like it will be super fun
not gonna happen for me tho this year
Diavolezza, one of the smaller complexes in Sankt Moritz, possible day trip, conditions and skinheads permitting:

To participate I have to just book the lodge? Do I sign up anywhere else? Is there a cheaper mag deal on the 4 bed room and mags willing to share a room?
A nice excuse for me to get to the other side other side of Switzerland.
If anyone plans to fly into gva I can host a mag a night or two in Lausanne.

I think the participants should organize on their side first and then send or wire a deposit.
Yes, sharing a 4 person room will be cheaper.

In order to make a reservation, pm vendul with your request. Please do not expect him to do your room organization.

He will respond with bank info to wire money. They don't like to hold cc info.
I'll update the first post with this info

Buster, thank you for putting this together. To those of you that haven't yet skied Europe, it's a life changing experience. The future mrs and I are in. Looking forward to skiing with a number of you PNW folk!
@ Vendul - PM incoming.
I'm sad you can't come
I followed the link from the Down groupbuy thread to find this gem. Darn, it would be great to be able to join on this side of the pond! Calendar check in progress...
As mentioned, one of the big lines I would like to do is the Oberalpstock.
It requires a 3 hour skin/hike from the top of the Disentis highest lift. It's then a 2000+ vertical meter run on a N/NW facing slope down into the Bristen valley that will require some walking and finding a bus stop to get down to Erstfeld. From there a train can be ridden back through Goeschenen, Andermatt and eventually Rueras. There are several variations, one of which starts at about 3200 m and ends at 800 meters. Hopefully there will be a good snowpack.

I have never done this run, so I don't know the route or how to find the bus stops. I think this is an instance in which hiring a guide would be worth it and that will require some consensus and planning with a cost in the neighborhood of $100 per person. I might be wrong about this, maybe vendul knows the route and it obviously depends on conditions.
It's something to plan and develop a consensus.
Also, to rerereiterate the phone issue, as the sagacious Foggy and oftpiste have mentioned, having a functioning cell phone is pretty much a requirement. Please be sure you have one since this is a big place and the likelihood that we will get split up is 100%. It will be key to know if people that got lost or split off are ok or not.

To add to the euro info, rega helicopter rescue insurance 30chfs. Better than getting bunged for a couple grand. Plus it supports a great org!
