Closing weekend here. It rained hard all day in The Valley so there is a lot of new snow up high, the question is how high?

[Rossymcg]

@beer30
how was it up top?

It rained to damn near the top. Looked great but the snow just grabbed your bases like a suction cup. Today was grey and wet. Oh well, that’s a wrap on season 22/23. I’m glad to get this one over with. Next years gonna be a monster year 😉🤘

Spent some time doing so back in JHole but not at all since I’ve been over here. My other summer sports tap me out fun fund wise 😂😂

My family and I are relocating to a small town just outside Geneva. I usually ski Verbier as I have a colleague/dear friend who owns a house there but hospitality knows it limits. Does anyone have some data on seasonal rentals/alternatives to L4V that might not trash my bank account worse than Geneva rents? I have never been to Crans-Montana but it looks to be reasonably priced albeit with a lot of southern exposure, same can be said for Courmayer having slightly better prices than Chamonix but again, sunny side. Wife is an intimidated intermediate and my daughter is 27 months. We have done Les 3 Valles a few times but Meribel doesn’t exactly look like a bargain either and the drive doesn’t help. Any thoughts or data would be appreciated…N.

Of your wife likes Wellness Check ... but there is not so much decent skiing except storm skiing. Pistes are imermediate heaven. Heck even my 5 year old could ski 80% [emoji3]


The small areas around verbier are also reasonable. The ski area is "small" ( understatement) but close to verbier. And has great touring around. .is even closer. But I've never been.

[Rossymcg]

you not thought about the PDS? The areas big be far cheaper than 3v's or 4v's great area for your wifeand daughter to learn, Avoriaz holds snow late season and has some decent skiing

Thanks for the recommendation; much obliged. We move 1 August so we will spend some time exploring the options…

[AKAnderson]

It always resembles a drive by resort in my mind but it is super big. I guess we will have to explore a bit and see if a deal on a seasonal rental place can be had. Thanks for the suggestion…

Anyone know how the summer glacier skiing is going?

Can't be great but I'm not hearing anything about places not opening like last summer. Stelvio Pass open?

Only 2 more winters until the next Olympics in Italy so I really want to take a St Moritz and Bormio trip asap before them so I can enjoy them from having visited. Need to ski in the alps and hear folks speaking Italian have only gotten German and French... escuzi escuzi.

Diavolezza, Bormio, and Santa Caterina are the musts and will likely do 1 day at Corviglia to check out the town of St Moritz. Is there something close by or on the way from Milan/Zurich that I absolutely can't miss if already there? 4 resorts is going to be more than enough and I'm not trying to go to a different region. When do the Stelvio Pass lifts stop spinning in the fall? I'd love to do this trip crazy early if there is a big fall with multiple early dumps?

Snow down ( quite a lot? Maybe)to 2200-2400m this weekend!
That should make glacier skiing worthwhile.


Edit: stelvio never runs in the Fall. The road closes.

And I disagree with Buster. Madesimo is not worth it. It is one nice lift ( the top tram) which rarely opens when it's fun and the terrain is kinda weird hanging leading everyone into the same slots. And I was chased by policemen for trigering some sluff there [emoji6]
Bottom half of the mountain is flat.

St. Moritz area is worlds better. Diavolezza/ lagalp gets pretty windy so corvatsch usually opens earlier with better snow. If it snows. I haven't been since 2014. It takes a solid sw flow to get Some dumpage there. 19/20 must have been great in the south early season, but it was also great closer to home in Southern Switzerland.

Nice. Can't be a bad early season place and must have reliable snowmaking to have the FIS races in December.

I'm trying to get it out of my head that I have to drag skis around or wait for good conditions and can just rent Stocklis or super shapes and ski the piste if the snowpack is low and if a lucky dump comes I'll wreck some wide rentals. This might not be the place to go really early late October early November but I do want to take a trip very early one year somewhere.

For we dentists, that tram at Madisimo was as attractive as full frontal implant surgery. Plus, it had dumped for the 2 days we were there.

Granted, it's nowhere near as awesome as those Sirens of the Engadin, but Madisimo was better than a fat snorf of nitrous.

(edit) And despite some euroclaims of it being small and flat, I'll cast a vote for Davos.
