EuroBBI 2020, March 12-20 @mtlodge-sedrun Switzerland
Once again, the love and madness of lot4 will be winging it's way to Yurp to roost around https://www.mt-lodge.com/ just below the Oberalp Pass in the massive and snow sure Andermatt-Disentis SkiArena, Switzerland for the week of March 12-20, 2020. Host vendul is forging another fantastic plan.
Access is super slick and easy on Swiss trains that drop guests a couple hundred feet from his hotel. Precise Swiss trains with ski racks that serve all major Swiss airports.
This is among the most amazing ski deals any way you slice it. The skiing is world class in a powder mecca of the Alps.

vendul, host at mt-lodge, proved his skills last year at organizing mind blowing itineraries for a rowdy mob both close to his hotel as well as far afield around St. Moritz. I'm pretty sure there's a number of people here who would attest to this. Some of them are curating wads of cool images from the trip. vendul is offering to do it again with some killer deals including breakfast and dinner at his great little hotel with quiet rooms and plush beds.
Andermatt gets a ton of snow and there's terrain for every ability with emphasis on lots of 4-5k vertical foot sidecountry runs with easy access and usually beer and charcuterie before a train or taxi home. The SkiArena spans 20 miles of lift service with a train connecting the ends included on your lift ticket. Disentis is a big place, lesser known, with nearly 6000 vertical feet of lift served and weeks of incredible offpiste. The skiing kicks ass.

So, yeah, the deal is to line up a few days at venduls place and we'll converge on doing some day trips around central Switzerland. This years options include a little tour out of Davos/Klosters as well as the massive glaciers of Aletsch Arena and Fiesch and a farmer's lift near the hotel. Some other potentials depending on interest. Last year we did the Oberalpstock, around 7000 vertical feet of North facing pow. If people want to sign up for another similar day, let me know.
Getting there is easy, with slick Swiss trains providing simple access from every major airport. Flights are relatively cheap, with fares of around $500-600US currently available from most major US cities to Zurich, a preferred hub. Geneva is another good airport. Set up a flight watch on either google or kayak.
If you have logistics questions, ask away, it's easy. It's also generally cheaper than a ski vacation in North America.
