jbob, how often is there enough snow, bashing or no bashing. Last year was the first time I'd done it in 7 admittedly sporadic seasons...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I wonder whether that means they will put/produce snow on the lower half to make it more predictable?

22 dropout, I don't think that will happen. The ski out is only an option to the train down. A walk at the end is common anyway.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We went past the stairs to the gondola up station, skied off the end of the glacier and hiked up (200m) to the track down to the town back in April. Having read the link, it doesn't look like this is the bit that will get pisted. Though it was a right old mission, involved a lot of sweat and cursing on the hike up and some walking at the end I felt really pleased with myself!

Thinking about it, if they start to bash it, the track will last much longer than it does now. They could stash a few piles along the track. Perty, I think the bit they are going to do is only as far as the little buvett on the ridge at the most. We were there end of Oct, and they had done a lot of preparation work, I thought at the time what on earth they were doing it for, I guess wrongly it was something to do with the train. The VB is a real money spinner.
