Three quads and a six-pack chair lift will be open+some surface lifts.

+Really good tree-skiing there.

We will be skiing at Stuhleck, maybe at Hirschenkogel, cause both resorts are located only 40-45 min drive frome my hometown

Du bist aber nicht auch aus Graz, oder?

**Roo** · 11-14-2007, 02:23 AM

It's even started snowing fairly decently in France now.

**Roo** · 11-14-2007, 02:54 AM

Nurburgring not looking too promising for testing!

G3 is opening up some more lifts and piste this weekend along with Verbier. Looking out the window it looks like the Jura may even have enough coverage for a tour.

Also, Verbier opens Lac des Vaux this coming Saturday (17th). Les Diablerets is supposed to be open every weekend but was closed last weekend (probably due to high winds).

Edit: Damn, beaten by one minute

With Kings Cross opening to Eurostar, these are the new and revised travel times.

Lyon in under five hours? Has this always been the claim? Even so, this can only be a good thing for London mags.

**LaZapatilla** · 11-14-2007, 08:40 AM

Engelberg today...

... and still coming down.
Lifts are closed for maintenance on the Titlis until Nov 23. Mr Z went touring on Monday and there was knee-deep snow up at Trubsee (and that was before this storm

)
The Brunni could possibly open after this weekend.

**IridePow** · 11-14-2007, 09:18 AM

Good to see that (easter&central) Switzerland and Austria gets a good early start.

harvest time!!!!cant wait for SA...

**Loudpawlz** · 11-14-2007, 09:44 AM

I'll be in SW Germany on business 8-17 of December. Need some help convincing myself I'd be a fool not to find an opportunity to ski. Last time I brought all my gear and on two consecutive weekends the fates were aligned against me.

**Hicks** · 11-14-2007, 10:21 AM

I don't care about the fuckin' Alps.

Wake me up when the Tatrys go off.

I just got back after 3 days away.
Holy Shit Balls!!!

We got about 50cm outside my door.

Rumors in Leysin are this:
1) Mountain will open on Saturday;
2) Piste all the way down to the village is in good shape,
snow making and grooming have been done.

I know snow making is going on, because I heard it tonight.
Lots of snow out there.

I'm hiking up tomorrow to make some turns, look for pics.

Oh, and it is Beaujolais Nouveau tom/Thurs, so celebrate with 4CHF/bottle wine!

**Roo** · 11-14-2007, 03:14 PM

Living 600 miles from the skiing is a fucking arse.

lg · 11-14-2007, 03:20 PM

Know what you mean Roo. I live in Portugal which is pretty much as far as you can get from the alps.
Get to go skiing for 1 week this year so keeping an eye on the weather and hoping it'll be a decent winter.
