The Vailification has hit Andermatt: the Gemsstock closed April 14; no more May Gemsstock.

:-(

Missing the Imperial units.

I thought the British were coming, one by land and two by sea?

And, again, please don't quote.

J'adore la France.
Mon Francais est tres mauvais (et mal), mais j'essayer.

Il est perdu? Tant pis.

Mais oui.
Ou est le "n'est" au dessus?

What. like some American that expects to be served everything? What is this? McDonalds?

Sheesh.

But I might direct you to scan upthread for the nuggets of wisdom you seek.

No, they are are not.

Yes, you missed something.

And watches. Don't forget the watches.

I thought the Swiss sympathized with the potatoes from the Incas via the Spaniards.

Admittedly, the waitresses scorn nearly killed me. For that would be Italian

I loved France too.

IMHO, Euros tend to be a bit more formal on introduction, but warm up to Americans quickly.
On average, it's more of a personality thing than a nationality thing.
So YMMV.

It would be so nice if America could learn from the Euros regarding civil jury trials.

The differences have to do with how the legal systems are set up, and hence are actually cultural in the end,...

The basis is who of the remotely legally exposed has the most money. This is not really a joke.
C'mon, this is America, land of the free, home of the personal responsibility.

Not tp detract from...

The legal ramifications are interesting. Condolences to their survivors. My hope is that Ikon gets sued and decides to pull their Schengen investments.

Munich->Innsbruck->Brenner Pass->Brixen->Waldbruck?

Stay high, follow the snow.
I just got back from a spin through St. Moritz and the place has killer skiing among the 4 areas. Looks like Corvatsch closes April 28 and Diavolezza closes May 5.

I have to confess after the recent roll through Klosters/Davos->Disentis<->Splugen<->Andermatt->Lenzerheide->Corviglia->Corvatsch->Diavolezza->Lagalb(!) I am __so__ disappoint.

For all the years I...

I'll take some o' dat.

Didja save us any?

Is the forecast for March 1 on the Gemsstock valid?

He was in Austria, Salzburg area.

Yes. 5 days. Yes.

I liked Gasteinertal a lot. Between the history of the old royal spa and casino and the numerous old hotels being refurbished, the place had that film of an old skibum haunt.

If it's dumping, ski the trees off Graukogel or the North facing treeline stuff off the Stubnerkogel towards Angertal. Nothing super gnarly steep here, but good, fun steep pitches.

Figured it out...

Not local, just been there.

Hexenhausl is worth a visit for apres.

Hotel Echo is nice.

General or current conditions?

Sawiri's upscale development of the Chedi caused a fallout like the Radisson of much higher prices in Andermatt hotels.

Sad to say, but it is somehow fitting.

I liked Chur. It's easy access to Arosa/Lenzerheide, Tschiertschen or Klosters in about an hour by train. Or the smaller area, Chur - Brambrüesch accessed by a tram right out of the edge of the city....

I thought Alagna had a better vibe. With a couple of churches and some cool old buildings, it's good for walking. All of the villages are pretty isolated.

What does your wife like to do? If it's...

Wise.

But Bad Gastein, Mallnitz, Dachstein, Val Frejus/Val Cenis/Bonneval Sur Arc are not big name places.

We almost always had a better time at the unknown spots.

Agreed. Just that Monterosa is such a bitch to get to.
Jungfrau, Alpes d'Huez too.

A very good friend of mine who occasionally posts here is an Etonian and one of the most stand up, welcoming and abundant people I know.

I think Les Arcs has the best forecast with 87 cm at 2000m and 47cm at 1600m forecast in the next 5 days.
Is the extra 1.5 hours on the train worth it?
