Nah, doesn't matter if the pope wants to go ski, they don't stay open. Drives me nuts. At least last year it was almost dead when they closed it, this year it's insanely good right until the end

stab, your former employer has some nice AT gear 
You don't need lifts... if I were in Wengen now i'd scream and kick and get myself AT gear and rip!
2 years ago they extended an extra week, and i doubt it was as good as it is now. Silly people at the jungfraubahnen....

Ronald, in the days when my father started to ski there there was no Mannlichen cable car and you did have to walk from Scheidegg, they used to walk over as a ski school group, have a glass of wine or beer and a picnic at the top and then ski down, no pistes either in those days

April 14th and I can still get to my front door, awesome.

I've been thinking about this since I went to town and back. I bet it's still possible to get down to grund from mannlichen, I did it just last week and got right to the mannlichen gondola thing with a bit of concrete riding. Did they used to walk the path along the top under the tschuggen? I know at the moment there's a ton of snow over that path but going down gummi and staying high to the left side you would get at least part of the way up to lager before walking. Failing that I know the lower hiking path has a lot less snow on it/ is safer.
Hmm. [rubs chin and ponders.]
[/finishes rubbing chin and pondering]
Schilthorn - closed kanonenrohr down to murren sounds easier and more fun.

they only close that to stop tourists taking pictures in the wrong place. I lost count of the number of times I've gone down a closed kanonenrohr only to look back up and see a family has followed me down, stopping mid way to do whatever skiers do mid way down a piste.
I'm waiting for a break in the weather to get over the murren side, at the moment it's lauberhorn to allmend and train back up for me all day.

I can think of worse ways to spend a day. How are you getting on with the split board & touring plan?

hahaha  I gave up. everyone keeps telling me that (a) touring alone is bad and if I do hear of a tour I get (b) you're not bringing that bloody snowboard with you. Lots of hatorade being drunk I think.
I've refocused, surf trip in 2 weeks for 10 days, then 2 weeks work then zermatt for a few days.

not only is it still possible it's really good and still open to do so. Really really good snow up at schilthorn today, not so good rocks though. One scraped arm, an ass that feels like i've been raped by an ape and a broken board, still it's not all negatives, the curly fries are still awesome.

and it still sucks here. No decent park and nothing to do in the summer except watch the old people hike. They make 19.6 gazillion and still shut lifts down due to low numbers through them, it all sucks. I said it before and I'll say it again, zermatt rocks.

And that's the trouble with the Swiss, they're very good at doing things but not many come up with original ideas, hell I doubt they'd have had a ski industry if it weren't for the British, the classic Swiss attitude seems to be "This is the way we've always done things, so this ios how we will carry on doing them"
Don't get me wrong I like the Swiss and Switzerland but sometimes they need a bit of prompting with a sharp stick in order to get things done
