No reduction in Lift capacity, Masks...everywhere and any time that you're not literally skiing

Looks like I might be heading there hence why it came up

Weather outlook through Saturday, 26 September
Skies will be heavily overcast for the most part. On Thursday afternoon, precipitation is expected to set in over widespread areas. The precipitation will be intensive on Thursday night, particularly in the southern and eastern regions, and the snowfall level will lie at approximately 3000 m. Starting at Friday midday, the precipitation will shift to the typical northern barrier cloud regions. The snowfall level will descend from 2500 m down to 1500 m on Friday morning; subsequently on Saturday, down to nearly 1000 m. Winds on Friday morning will be southwesterly, subsequently shifting to northwesterly. At 2000 m, winds will be blowing at strong velocity, in high alpine regions at storm strength. In the central sector of the southern flank of the Alps, a strong-velocity northerly wind will be blowing starting on Friday. On Saturday, bright intervals are anticipated there. Between Thursday evening and Saturday evening above approximately 2500 m, the following amounts of fresh snow are expected:
furthermost western part of Lower Valais, northern flank of the Alps from the eastern Bernese Oberland as far as the Glarus Alps: 70 to 100 cm;
remaining parts of Valais not including valleys of Visp, remaining sectors of the northern flank of the Alps, Gotthard region, Grisons not including southern valleys: 40 to 70 cm;
valleys of Visp, northern Ticino not including Gotthard region, southern valleys of Grisons: 20 to 40 cm;
central Ticino and Sotto Ceneri: only a few centimetres;
Jura: 5 to 15 cm above 1000 m.
At 2000 m, approximately two thirds, at 1500 m approximately one third of the predicted amounts of snow can be expected to remain on the ground

PSA: have a look at the weather maps and check your favorite grassy meadows on Sat. Sunday might actually be skiable here and there. Mainly central Swiss to Arlberg, but still very uncertain. I will chime in on Thursday or Friday how this may play out.

I am tempted. Half a meter+ up high normally by Sunday, and tram to top is running in Klosters. My Achilles is still healing though, so I will probably sit this one out. Don’t want to re-injure myself before the season even starts.

Its about the only app I have notifications on for, just because the thrill of getting that first 'ping' for an avalanche report in September is so exciting!

So, Tignes or Verbier boys?

Tignes, that Place is mindblowing

[subtle plague]

I've been following the numbers and webcams. 20-25cm on nothing so far and very warm ground don't make it easier.. I will decide in the morning.

#instagramturn season is on.

[ddraver]

Wow!

[subtle plague]

I'll join the insta party. Wish you were here. And, more importantly, you can actually ski

Word!!! Ou?

Eastern Switz 5km from the Austrian border(where I wanted to go originally, but it turned out to be high risk corona area in vorarlberg) . Usually a super busy beginner touring spot.
And it was definitely not the worst season start I've had (since I only go when it's good they are usually OK ) .
In September nonetheless.

And of course both participants of this endeavor were on down skis. Because down skis deliver the goods

[abraham]

I miss this

[LeoK]

nice! do you think this will last any longer than tomorrow?

No.
Edit :
But tomorrow morning should still be good. Participant number 2 stayed for the night to have some more rounds tomorrow. He wanted to go the Mediterranean and this was only supposed to be a one round "see old friends and weird around on a meadow as a joke" thing.
We came down to the road and said. Damn, let's go again.

Update from this morning. I envy him a bit..
"5cm of dry fresh pow on the base from yesterday"

I am feeling the urge to go there - fast.

[shroom]

i’m peeking and i shouldn’t be, it’ll only hurt worse

[bobinch]

Good 50cm up top over this way too. I left it quite late and it got heavy pretty quickly mind. Downhill mtb trail quite handy for the lower section back into town!



Looks like Glacier3000 opening for the season today claiming 1m up top.

I recognise that cow...

(Don't make me miss Verbier! )
