 Poster: A snowHead
|
Yesterday, legs pretty sore after quite a few day's bashing deep powder and the off piste White Hare route. Anyway, started on Schiltgrat chair which was stopping due to wind. Pistes frozen corduroy, clatter, clatter, and off piste crusty from warmer temperatures. Wild Wang was deep blown powder and combat traversing to get to an untracked powder field was worthwhile. But legs complained after a few telemark turns. Then headed to Winteregg after a pleasant coffee with Othmar outside the Bellevue Hotel.
Winteregg, with more north facing slopes, was only slightly better. After persevering for a couple of runs, decided a picnic lunch in the sunshine was required at Winteregg. Then down the run to Lauterbrunnen. Snow very sticky in patches and track covered with tree debris from current high winds.
An LGT Bank advert on a Wengen Lauberhorn lift pylon reads "A bad day's skiing is better than a good day in the office. Certainly true yesterday!!.

@cad99uk, can't say for sure. I can't imagine another season without German guests, but whether borders will be opened to a wider demographic is a tough call right now.

Still a T bar there - Gimmeln by the restaurant.
Need to work out how to include pics like QPP??

Between yourself and Marshall over in Grindelwald I feel as if I'm there......but then I wake up and reality sets in. You enjoy the poor conditions and the good days equally, it's far better than our lot!

You know it makes sense.
|

@colinstone, Gimmeln & Schiltgrat were both t-bars.

Great to hear another snowhead who recalls Schiltgrat as a "t" bar. Truly a t to remember, not sure how we could use it but we did.

FAQ

- but I think the OP was referring to people with 'proper' office jobs, as opposed to someone having a view of The Matterhorn from their 'outdoor office'...
