Winteregg snow making facilities have been given the green light, all working fine for this winter. It should make a huge difference.

You're right, it will. Really looking forward to it.

Hi Everyone,
Long time since I posted but it’s good to be back. Going to Wengen March 2019. Does any one know when the new V Bahn is scheduled to open? 2019 or 2020?

@MacBrian, v bahn mannlichen opening December 2019 GGM will shut April 2019 so there will be no Grindelwald to Mannlichen service this summer, they will remove the old cable towers and replace during the summer. New V Bahn will be slightly closer to Mannlichen restaurant . Theres a new permanent button lift rather than the portable drag lift at the top of mannlichen now, so going from Lager to Mannlichen restaurant may be easier
Snow might stay at higher level but won't lower down, temp in coming week will briefly go up Monday, Drop Tuesday and then rise again, I think this is just a brief white blip, probable storms overnight Monday-Tuesday long range forecast suggests cooler temps from Tuesday 6th and occasional light snow (nothing significant) with rising temps from Sat 10th

This year's DHO Journal has a short article about Telemark racing from Britain's number 1 Telemark racer Jasmin Taylor. After this season's last World Cup race in Mürren I invited her across to Wengen the following day and she had a day's skiing with some DHO members. I've scannned the article to a pdf file for anyone interested: http://snowmediazone.com/the_zone/data/500/Jaz.pdf

Might have asked this previously but are there any other deecent ski areas nearby to the Jungfrau worth visiting for a few days? I`m coming for 2 weeks at the end of February, start of March and fancy trying out somewhere new. Is it worth the hassle of the travel just for a few days somewhere else? I`d quite like to see Zermatt
|

Zermatt is about 3 hours away by train.
If you have a car you can be in Adelboden in about 90 minutes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can get by train to Meiringen from Interlaken Ost in about 35 mins.

Options are greater than you might imagine. Adelboden as mentioned, about 1hr 15m drive from Lauters. Lenk is greater distance but an easier and quicker drive, 1hr to 1hr 10 to the Metstand carpark. This lift accesses the Lenk/Adelbd. sector.
Zweisimmen, you have to drive through this town to get to Lenk. The lift out of Zwei' gives access into the Saanersloch area which is a sgnificant part of the Gstaad area!
Without doubt all these areas are well worth a visit, as they are covered on the Top 4 lift pass we ski them regularly.

Should have stated that Zweisimmen and Lenk are very easily reached by train. The rly station at Zwei' is 250/300m from the gondola station. Adelboden less accessible as the train would get you to Fruitigen then it would be post bus up the valley.

The temps seem to be dropping on Monday so that is a positive but no snow yet

Just because there was a fairly substantial dump of snow last year does not mean we will get a huge early dump this year, do not panic yet

I have a buddy in Val Thorens - highest ski station in Europe. They have the same amount of snow as us at the moment - zero. Too early to worry.

Also Birg / Schilthorn
Almiboden and Maulerhubel also open as well as the Birg lifts, but not Winteregg for some reason. Too low maybe.

Fabulous - we’re there next weekend for a quick trip now we’re not too far away. The midget will be on skis for the first time and I can’t remember the layout at all. Anywhere for him to just scoot about on skis or sledge? (He’s 2)

@Nadenoodlee, if theres enough snow the nursery slope is dead center of the village, if snow a bit thin then at Kleine Scheidegg the mini slope might be working (Just down from station Grindelwald side) and sledging certainly possible, if forecast temp drops occur then I suspect they will put some man made snow down on the nursery slopes.

Scheidegg managed to open 2 lifts and 2 pistes today, well done anyone brave enough to go skiing. Over at Birg there was also some skiing this morning before high winds closed everything down. We had a few cms of snow last night, and it’s a lot colder so there should be lots more to come over the next few days. Temp in the village currently +1C.
