The Arlberg, Engleberg, Andermatt, Davos, Engadine... The options are endless from Zurich. I know the typical french alps destinations are far from Zurich, but I would argue all the bigger snow places are reached via Zurich. Someone should take advantage of this. I'm looking forward to my 2.5 weeks over there during Xmas/New Years!!!

I gotta get a real job so I can afford to take advantage of stuff like this.

BTW - Zurich to Chamonix is still only the same driving distance as San Francisco to Tahoe. No biggie.Last edited by bad_roo; 11-24-2004 at 08:40 AM.

Actually if you include my week in Utah for the mini its 3.5 weeks
This is the single best part about being a student.
Unfortunately not gonna hit either. We are in St. Anton for a week and then with the inlaws in Serfaus for 10 days. Planning on making it to Ischgl during that week because I was never able to check that out...He who has the most fun wins!

Galtuer is the favourite launch for the Silvretta huts but the local off-piste is just not crowded because it's pretty limited.

Plenty of goods to be found off the top two chairs at Galtur and because you go in opposite directions it's easy to get untracked.

zurich rocks.
yeah it does. i spent three years and four winters there.
flims-laax, arosa, lenzerheide.....mmmm.

Last year was the first time I ever paid less for a lift pass in the US than I did in Europe. This season it's the same story. A six day pass for Alpe d'Huez works out at £7 more than a six day pass at Jackson (thanks to those good folks at SkiSafari).
Flights are pretty good value too. Nothing beats La Grave though.

I'll be in Andermatt Dec 27 - Jan 2.
I may rely on SBB to try to get to Engelberg for the day as I'm without a car over there.
Drop me a PM if about as I'll be skiing solo !

As is see now: Maggots in La Grave and Engelberg /Andermatt over New year
I'll follow the snow if there is any so im not sure where the girlfreind and i will end up, but it's good to know there are maggots around my favourite resorts.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

I'm down with this if anyone wants to jump in with me and make a trip out of it. Cancelled my heli trip to north cascades in february due to lack of snow and rain. So, might try and go then.
