Lifts are closed for biking. Now is the transition period between bike and ski seasons where we ride cute little funiculaire trains to get our DH fix. An incompetent boob came down from deutschland to make 5 or 6 rips down Chaumont, hoping for a delay in the rain. As luck would have it, the rain held off until Saturday night. The riding was pretty sweet, as good or better than 'in' season riding.

They're spinning lifts until the 7th, but it isn't worth the drive from your place (Biel/Chaumont are better).

Flying the Bluehouse colors in Western Canada! Let me know if you want some rad skis!!
"He is god of snow; the one called Ullr. Son of Sif, step son of Thor. He is so fierce a bowman and ski-runner that none may contend! He is quite beautiful to look upon and has all the characteristics of a warrior. It is wise to invoke the name of Ullr in duels!"

I love fall riding, new lighting in forest, leaves everywhere. Nice work.
a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
