Mofro, How's the knee?

How's your knee, Mr. Mike?
Also, another big N. facing 2000+ meter vertical drop goes from the top of Laax/Glarner Vorab to Elm. No skinning required.
Laax is a short drive East from Rueras.
Don't know how to get back from Elm easily though. Looks like a long bus and train ride (3.5 to 4 hour) from Elm to Rueras.

I'm just about back to "normal" (at least the knee). I just had a pretty bad sprain with some ancillary soft tissue damage. I couldn't jog for about a month, but have eased back into that in the last couple of months. If I do anything that involves explosive movement (with that term of course being relative), I'll notice just a little stiffness the following day.
Noted your observation above regarding Arosa to Davos. That proximity caught my eye a few months ago when I noticed another ski area in the background of one of my photos from Weissfluh and was looking at a map trying to figure out which one it was.

Doing quite well now. I had patella tendon R-ACL replacement done 5/17, first 4 weeks were an absolute bitch, only 4-5hrs sleep/night for 25 straight days and much discomfort. My doc had me stay with the crutches to almost 6 weeks to be cautious as this was a revision, but just over 3 weeks later I'm walking ~4-5miles/day and well on track to be back in action by mid-November.
Move upside and let the man go through...

Bumping this...
About a week and half ago the wife and I spent some time at Mt. Lodge. Vendul is a fantastic host and I highly recommend staying with him!
He hooked us up with great hiking routes, set up a hut trip for us, and even hung out in his "spare time".
Sweet new cable car is up and running which should make winter access even easier than before.
Really want to go back this winter if I can swing it

Potential dates -- March 13-18th at the Mtn Lodge (if @Vendul agrees.) Buster to organize.
If you don't know Buster, and haven't done Europe before -- just shut up and do what he says. But mostly go to Mtn Lodge Sedrun.
I'm unlikely to be able to join. Got engaged last week which is 100% stoke. But we're likely going to elope to Europe with close family and do some bike touring as part of it which means ski funds/time off is limited.

Sadly the wife and I won’t be going this year. We have some family matters to deal with on the wife’s side and that is taking priority over this trip. Wife is saddened as she was super excited to go after hearing about it when I got back. We made the final decision this weekend. She told me to go but I felt bad about not taking her with me.
For those on the fence, GO!, if you can. It’s relatively inexpensive and an amazing trip with the most gracious hosts.

Those dates should work for me too, I'll be over there the week before for a conference. Bummer man, you'll be missed. Gotta make it over to your area to ski still.
Just a note for pnw mags. Our local leader when we skied in Corvatsch is in Vancouver for much of this winter. I've extended the offer to return the favor with some of our local skiing.

That run is pretty much nightmarish logistics wise. And skiing wise. Not comparable to oberalp stock. Rarely done.

I'll be in Yurp (Stuttgart) on the 14th. I may be able to make this work..... I will have excess baggage (wife) in tow (is that frowned upon?). Looks like we could get to mtn lodge around the 15th.

Agreed on both, lol. That southern accent....

I don't think the concept of baggage is allowed in lot4. Assholes, miscreants, rippers, zits, b.o., tits, dogpoo, yes, but no baggage.
