 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Anyone know what the snows like in chandolin Switzerland?
got a chance to go for a couple of days but it will be quite awkward to get there and quite pricy just for 2 days but if theyve got the mega snow that seems to be around it could be worth it.
I saw Adelboden on ski sunday and the snow looked terrible, is it only good high up at the mo?
As youd imagine Im looking for POW so if its not there Ill save my money and go somwhere else in a week or so instead

We've just stopped for lunch in our motorhome above Lausanne en route for Val d'Anniviers so will follow replies with interest. We have the MagicPass and arrived at a small resort in the Jura last night with the intention of a few undemanding warm-up days. The pistes this morning, however, were glazed cordrouy and you could hear one of the few skiers coming from halfway down. Not a good first day of the season on a board!

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

I never liked the ice on a board, only 1 edge to grip or not. Not saying that I love it on skis but definitely better.
Is Val d'Anniviers close by? My geography is terrible. If so please let me know what its like so I can decide whether to book tickets or not.
Thanks

@medlington, snow is great. It snowed a lot last night. of the 3 high lifts (all drags) none open today until 1 opened in St. Luc late afternoon. Much blasting and piste bashing going on up high through the afternoon so hopefully most everything open tomorrow.

Its in Switzerland, knowing nothing about the geography of Switzerland I thought it could be close, hence why I asked.
Thanks for all the info

You know it makes sense.

@medlington, ah.
You were worried were you not by the pictures during the slalom? Of the wrong side of the mountain, down the valley. Camera angles, eh? Deceiving.
It's actually only about 25kms away in a straight line but there are mountains in the way, so weather and precip can be quite different from the Valais.

MeteoSwiss - If you want to monitor weather and snowfalls etc then this Swiss Weather Bureau app is good - most other apps are using MeteoSwiss data anyway, so this is the source material. As with the UK MetOffice app, you can put in your own locations. The app also allows you to set levels for weather warnings of snow, avalanche, winds etc. individually. The animated forecast is good at giving you an idea of the broader weather that's on its way.
