the new gondola is not finished now. opening date will be dec. 20th and i´m pretty sure, not one day earlier.

sub´s secret gondola is also not open at the moment, but may be it will open earlier than the new one.

I was in Zermatt for four days this week. It snowed high up on Wednesday. Then it started snowing again on Friday, this time seriously and also down in the valley.

**Schnappi** · 11-10-2007, 01:12 PM

Still coming down in Andermatt. Radar looks solid for the night.

Anyone in the area up for a quick tour tomorrow? Need to drive to GVA in the afternoon, but will get something in before leaving.

**SiSt** · 11-10-2007, 01:27 PM

Oppdal (Norway) webcam. They had their opening day today. More snow in the following days.

Yay!

**burny** · 11-10-2007, 03:35 PM

been to grasgehren today ... shitty little resort with very limited terrain, one lift was open. its always the first resort in the allgäu to open.

well, it was great, very stormy, a lot of snow, maybe a meter of very good and fluffy cocaine alltogether and still snowing. great start!

**Alek** · 11-10-2007, 08:32 PM

Gleiming, 80Km south of Saltzburg. They should build a lift there, if they
don't have it already!

yeap, you right, just checked their website...that pretty much sucks...could someone suggest an alternative close to the Czech border? I only went to Kripp, St. Anton and around Kitzbuehl...

**TeleAl** · 11-11-2007, 04:20 AM

Here the 0 line crept up a bit.
Sitting at 1400m or so.

Leysin is talking about opening next weekend.

**Zeedashbo** · 11-11-2007, 04:42 AM

Hauser Kaibling yesterday:

**horizon** · 11-11-2007, 06:40 AM

Ok, so I'm in Prague this coming Friday (16th). Busy on Fri but the weekend is free.

any chance of using Sat and Sun to get after it? 2czech, any recommendations?

lg · 11-11-2007, 09:35 AM

I know its meant to be dumping in Austria, but how are the french resorts doing, specifically Tignes.

Does anyone have detailed weather forecast for this resort for the next few days?

**mc_roon** · 11-11-2007, 03:54 PM

Were you by chance in Cape Town for a wedding? I was just down there with a crew from St Anton for such a thing.

ok guys, i was about to pm you Matt anywas, i am DEFINITELY going to go after it...how are we gear wise, i can lend skis but only have one pair of skins and one spare pair of trekkers...we could either go local (Klinovec in Krusne Hory around 60cm and counting, or something in Giant Mountains) or go south to Austria...Klinovec is 1,5 hour from Prague...closest austrian resort 5 hours...Giant Mountains 2 hours...let me know! cant wait!

a friend of mine teleing up at Klinovec today:

That's just not fair ...

**ulty_guy** · 11-12-2007, 03:56 AM

any word on arlberg early openings? was thinking of getting down there the 23-25 nov?

**horizon** · 11-12-2007, 04:02 AM

2czech: I have just dropped my skis for mounting with Naxos. Barring unforeseen problems, they should be ready for the weekend.

Trouble is carrying them for the weekend... alternatively, I could bring the skins, but no trekkers.

I'll need to take a decision soon on this, as someone else is paying for my flight to Prague and I will have to tell them if I'm returning Sat or Sunday.

If you decide to go to Austria, it might be just a little too far for me, as I need to be in London on Sunday night rather than Monday morning. PM me and we can e-mail each other.

Ulty guy: as far as I can make it out, Lech is opening on Dec 1. Flights to Friedrichshafen are 45 quid that weekend (Fri night to Sun night)...interested
