    Smile TR: Eberg April POW Shrappage

    Late season dumps mean time for an Engelberg road trip!



    Dumping on arrival, total around 50cms



    Woke up with a mild case of the scandis



    In bounds warm up - amazingly light for april!







    Next into the Laub - 1000m of knee deep cold smoke!

















    The Steinberg

















    Beer30



    Next day, pretty shrapped out all over, still soft in the shady spots, crusty mank below

    Steinberg



    Gregor in the crusty mank



    Shrapped out





    EDIT: any pics of me are credited to geo039. thanks man!

    Damn!! Where the hell did all that snow come from?!? Last month that valley was as green as could be.

    Way to get after it. Looks some some mighty nice skiing was had!!

    by the way, here a pic from the top of the Laub in Mid-March. See a difference?

    Skiing, whether you're in Wisconsin or the Alps, is a dumbass hick country sport that takes place in the middle of winter on a mountain at the end of a dirt road.

    nice Ripz!

    when have you been there? last Friday ?
    (was also thinking about to go...but unforunately i couldnt join the 50 in eberg/or the 100 in Amatt...)
    aehm yes. February was quite a good month for biking in this area ;-)

    (by the way, does anybody know if the Scando-invasion in Eberg is over yet ? - its just a nightmare to ski with all this guys...)

    yeah, this was last friday and saturday. friday was pretty quiet, that pic of the scandis was all that was waiting for first lift, so not so bad. never had to wait in a lift line all day. saturday got a little busier but mostly just pisten-carvers and their families. it still got pretty shrapped out in two days tho.

    that's pretty funny. i thought it had something to do with "shrapnel", i.e. all the pow being cut up and blown to bits.

    I think the Laub is something I dream of at night. Even makes the Hobacks seem a little puny.
