just got a warning from a german colleague of mine: a large part of Germany (particularly the southern part) has spring break next week (Feb 2 to Feb 10), meaning that loads and loads of people will come for a ski vacation in Switzerland. If you can restrain yourself at all, avoid going on ski/board trips during these two weekends and even during that week, as the slopes will be fully packed. I'm guessing this counts particularly for the german speaking part of Switzerland.

I hope the weather will be nice that week so I can get my bike out instead of my board...
