that happened to us last season coming back up after a tour, it does make the route up exciting :)

It's an interesting experience going round the hairpins with big chains on the bus rear wheels. Quite noticeable that they have to take a bigger swing to get round the bends.

Would it make the waiting easier if I said that the lifts are not open here until the weekend, so I have to earn my turns if I want to ski )

Bugger :roll: Did you skin up today?

No, Zinal was open today, it's a public holiday in the Valais

Public holiday or not, Grimentz was closed!

Plenty of skiing, off piste galore and rather noisy apres in this place..

Unlike large high French resorts, with their identikit pistes, Engelberg has huge skiing variety.
