21/11/07 - Flumserberg
The train leaves at 12 minutes past the hour from zurich Hptbhf, and you have to change trains in Zieglebrücke
about a 5 min wait between trains. (You could also get on the train at Pfäffikon SZ or Thalwil)
All in all it takes just over an hour to get to Unterterzen and I would guess that is a lot quicker than going by car.
The gondola up the mountain starts directly opposite the train station. I didn't see any lockers for shoes or other gear
but I am sure they must be there somewhere.

The runs from the very top at Maschgenkamm

were decent runs, but a little narrow in places and with the odd up hill, also be careful which way you go. We got stuck at the bottom with
the only way back up being a T-bar, 1 fall and ruptured testicles later and I finally made the top of the lift.
Red run 21 was tough for me on a board...too much walking.
What really made the resort better than Hoch-ybrig for me were the runs coming down from Prodkamm. Much wider and with some good off piste stuff in between.
Biggest chair lift I have ever seen as well to take you back up..brilliant.
You can also go straight back on 8 and 20 to the lift to go back down..although it was a bit sticky with the melting snow at the bottom.
Also saw a lot of nursery slopes up on the mountain, with the escalator lifts to get novices back up to the top, looked good. A good place to take lessons I would say.
There were a few places to get ski hire too

The snow was looking a little patchy, and down around Tannenboden there wasn't much to be seen, most of the pistes were in good condition but
every so often especially lower down grass and rocks were starting to poke through..unless there is some snow this week I wouldn't recommend going there.

Overall I would say because there are more runs and there was a lot more variety in the runs its a better resort than Hoch-ybrig. However I can see Flumserberg getting a lot more crowded and it does take longer to get too.
