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!

Awesome. I was wondering about this.

WORD!

A guy I work with overcame his lifelong, paralyzing fear of flying with hypnotism therapy.

One session...

I'm a skeptic... but it worked for him.

I got 37 on it Bobby

Buster,
bless your heart, has been encouraging me to visit for many years. it’s a good distraction from the perpetual double daffy.

I hear the double daffy is required over there. Kinda like safety bars at some ski areas

[PNWbrit]

Kinda like safety bars at some ski areas

Virtually compulsory in Europe.

Encountered a chair with automatically deployed safety bar last year at either Brevent or Flegere.

[oftpiste]

^^^yup. yup. be prepared. they're militant about the bar.

[Buster Highmen]

FWIW, @Anderm@, I gleefully rode with the bar up.

[oftpiste]

must have been solo on the chair....

[Buster Highmen]

you're right of course, in general with Euros. But with American scofflaws at hand...

[Norseman]

Rabble!

I do not endorse the chair bar, except on double lifts ridden solo... tired, draped over the bar like some lecherous buzzard, dazed by body-high and cynically assessing the skiers below.

Nut-smashing, head-bashing, scurrying, scurred dumbasses with the reactionary bar reach can get fucked, and I usually sternly request a few moments to look around for a bit, and let me sit on my poles, and get fucking situated on this machine.

[Buster Highmen]

Be prepared. brit & piste are right: The Euros will crash the bar down immediately as one's skis leave the ground...but if we occupy the seets compleeet, no need to meet their conceeeet.

[Mofro261]

No bar down No go. They stopped the chair and yelled at me in frenchyssoise until I put the bar down. Lesson learned.

[jackattack]

Have the French masses figured out what a line is yet? Or just the compulsory bar enforcement?

No. But it's fun when the dangerfrogs jam the telepherique door open to smoke and view.

Joining the party a week or so late. helluva trip coming together here. Going to take a look at flights and figure out how to pull off the big sales pitch to the wife...

[CascadeLuke]

If Flying Lufthansa for example you get free bag. However our skis measure over the 159cm rule and shows $175 on fee schedule. Is this ignored or wtf?

[Norseman]

Sometimes there's an exception specifically mentioned for ski/golf/gun luggage. That was the case on Iceland Air.

Squint harder?

[Tri-Ungulate]

In. Fresh off BBI Utard, will be arriving Zurich Tuesday the 19th in the AM, leaving Sunday morning the 24th. I'd like to figure out a way to spend a day or two in Engleberg either before I get to Rueras or leave a little early, will need your advice on how to do that. In for guiding as well.

Next, I gotta figure out what's left at the mt-lodge for rooms availability.

Thx Buster.

Upon further dive; yes- sport bag included for free (if reading correctly)

[vendul]

It's great to have so many of you that are joining... one little problem: You are all asking for single rooms, single rooms are limited, try to join for a double, we can arrange separate beds, that's no problem.

[abraham]

I'm still not certain but if I'm there should be able to drive a few people + gear from Lucerne/Engleberg depending on my work schedule

I would but im a notorious snorer and a drunk.

Also, im booked for 20-24 march. I'll drive down from lausanne early on the 20th and ski that day too. I'll likely have space unless some friends join.

[Norseman]

Open to doubling up, no worries 'cept snorers.

*_*_*_*

So I'm thinking that I'll check out of vendul's hotel on Friday the 22nd and begin wandering over to Engelberg to ski with the fur-clad rich Swiss Ejaculate on Saturday and Sunday.

Perhaps an Oberalpstock outing could line up first thing Friday, with the descent to Bristen being the stage-left exit to the trains for a few folks... Buster to Zurich, myself and perhaps others to Eberg.

Thoughts? Feasible? Totally weather-dependent, of course. Could go for a morning tour in some other direction, then bail by train... or sleep in. So many options, gah!
