3800m at Kliene Matterhorn, from which 30 min of combined effort gets you a 1500 vertical meter steep glacier descent. Or ski the West Face (500m), lift accessible, with routes from 35-55 degrees including the "Dreiselwand", and mind-blowing ambiance. Bring your skins and overnight gear and knock off the 4000m ski touring peaks which have Zermatt (or Saas Fee) as their starting point: Breithorn, Castor, Pollux, Liskamm, Monte Rosa, Stahlhorn, Rimpfishorn, Alpubel, Allalinhorn.

Couldn't make it to Engelberg ...
... because Austria truly sucks:

weekend update:
saturday - nice pow at SSB, light on top half, heavy below, however visibility quickly deteriorated. the pow turns were great while they lasted (and much appreciated). it even started snowing as we left.
sunday - a five star spring day at the combe. it must've snowed a bit overnight coz the combe was virtually untracked. bluebird and no competition for lines, we tracked out the first pitch all day till the clouds rolled in around 3pm.
sadly, no pics, i forgot my camera.

My buddy Ronny reports of 40 cm of freshies in Engelberg having fallen from sunday to monday.
Travelers to e-berg have to factor in the possibility that Ronny tries to make me into a glowing red envious furball of..... envy (which he pretty much succeeded in)

landed this morning from washington and drove to alagna. Nice, but already a bit crusty. I've spent a couple of good hours skinning, though.

Was very nice last week in Cervina/Zermatt, but with heavy crust southern aspects, with more snow falling today. Skied Porta Nera with a little variation (20min skin) and got basically boot->knee deep pow the whole way (though I was teleing
)
edgDo you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

Snow line is outside my window.

the models say andermatt/engelberg. im not sure though because these sw air flow lows aren't any good for those aspects. last time G3 got the most Originally Posted by Ripzalot

the flow will turn northerly this evening so maybe it'll come. it has rained 50l in 24h (ca. 70cm of snow would that be) on the border to germany. so the precip is there, but right now it is moving before the alps and not into them.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.
