Seems you had a good week LOTA - we actually got some more snow yesterday here!
About the queues, they can get ugly on weekends in Engelberg. Here are a couple of hints on how to avoid them:
- Fri/Sat/Sun, always take the first bus to the mountain, and buy your lift ticket at your hotel or the night before. There is rarely lines 8.30-8.45 If you want to sleep in, don't bother to be at the lift at 9.30, sleep in another hour instead.
- Don't take the cable car between Trübsee and Stand with everybody else, the two chair lifts are a better option, and you access the same area.
- The Jochpass side of the area has better lifts and less crowds in general.

There you are bandit, it's Eric and his Swedish gang who tracked out all the off piste!
Did have a good week, thanks, Eric. Agree what you say about the queues. The town was noticeably busier on Thursday night so we planned accordingly. Always used the chairs to Stand any way, but on Friday, after queuing for 20-25 minutes, we headed for Jochpass/Jochstock where skied straight onto every lift evety time. Fantastic (but at my age the odd wait in line is sometimes much appreciated!)
