SKI FEST!

Yesterday I went to Andermatt, in the center of Swiss land. The off pist snow was increadable. This is defininatly an off the list type of place, with most of the people here for the back country offerings. We bumped around the different areas, but settled in on an area that was up high, and had some freshies to rip on. The last run of the day was the best, with an untouched section of snow that I traveresed to. It was under a rock band that had shed some snow. You know it is good when the snow hits you in the face. Totally shreader.

The day before, I skied Engleberg. This area was highly toughted by many, and held one of the ski jump world cups two weeks ago. I took the train to Engleberg via Lucern at 6:03am I was on the slopes by 9am. It was cold, and super windy. The snow sucked where there was snow. The rest was wind scoured glacier ice. Pretty tough to ski on in my opinion. I did not get to check out the highest area because of a tachtical mistake on my part that pust me pack at the bottom. After an hour of waiting in line, I decided to bail and drink a beer while walking across town to the other lift. This area had some fresh tracks to lay down, but the snow was a little heavy due to the afternoon sun. Still the terrain was steep enough to get hit by my own snow slough on the way down.

Rest day today, got a little bit of a cold going. Tomorrow, the last day, I head to Grindelwald. This area should be pretty special, as it is in the Jaungfrau region. The skiing will be at the base of the Eiger!
