The Hundschopf on the lauberhorn course is 41° but is only a short section, the final schuss is 36° it always looks steeper from the top looking down opposed to the bottom looking up

Still very good snow on Salzegg this morning if you're thinking of coming for Easter weekend.

It will let you go from Mannlichen to Kl Scheidegg but possibly not the other way, typically at the start of the season high winds often strop off any snow on the slopes above the Arven and in particular Honegg lifts, you can still use the road to go through the woods to the Tschuggen lift but it often requires a bit of walking

Wow! New skipass for next season covering Jungfrau Region, Gstaad, Meiringen and Adelboden/Lenk. 666km of pistes for CHF666, as long as you buy before 15th December.

That sounds a pretty good deal for anyone who is out there for more than say 2 weeks in the season.

Mürren news, work has started on new snow making facility on slopes of the Almiboden and Maulerhubel chairlifts. If the weather permit, a section will also be built along the Winteregg chairlift. The remainder Winteregg work will be done in Spring 2018.

For anyone who hasn't seen it (or wants to see it again) at 9pm tonight ITV4 are showing On Her Majesty's Secret Service with George Lazenby and Diana Rigg (and of course some epic pictures of the Piz Gloria/Schilthorn and late 1960s skiing).

Season passes by post: https://top4.ski
No link yet for regular passes, but http://www.swisspasses.com are selling them already at around 10% off so I shouldn't think it'll be long.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates that new website.

Looks like most of it will melt over the next few days, but no really warm weather forecast (unlike last autumn) so fingers crossed. GBP vs CHF hit 1.31 today so wax 'em up guys!

Mürren News
New for 2018, Skyline Snow Experience at Birg -
I wish they would instead of catering for tourists in the summer months go ahead and get the Charlifts installed for the winter -
Blumental - Allmendhubel chairlift (access both sides instead of skiing back to Mürren from Schiltgrat)
Allmendhubel - base of the Kandahar chair (instead of skiing to the Schilthornbahn)

FAQ
Of course they should have said it's 75% (where 100% equates to 45°). Doing the maths the actual slope angle is arctan(0.75) = 36.9°, still quite steep but not as terrifying as the article implies.
