Re: Last minute ski day

If triple "F" plan works out and there are more folks interested, we'd have already "last minute" planned to get on a train to Chur from Zürich HB at 07h37 tomorrow morning.

EDIT to Jemma: If we are gonna be making more progress and social events at this rate, soon we would be fit for Helli skiing

You could handle it! Your attempts to conquer glacier and ability to salvage the skis are coming along nicely, which was proven on several occassions in Mer-Has last week

So will we be teaming up with the group going to Pizol?
I'm thinking Laax is a bit far for one day

Re: Last minute ski day

to keep things simple the event is staying as planned to Flims as there are people who have already said they will be coming by car and meeting us there. If you wish to join the other group that is up to you. Travelwise I think its only an extra 15 mins or so from Zurich to get to Flims than it is to Pizol.

Re: Last minute ski day

Ok guys it looks like Flims will rock tomorrow. Hopefully piste won't attract too much crowd and long queues at the cable cars. We shall see! Time to convert maybes and I did mine

Re: Last minute ski day

Thanks for organizing such a great day jemma. It was fantastic skiing today in good company and we pushed it a bit harder today with some epic offpiste runs and steep black/red runs which surely have given everyone good leg workout. Looking forward to other events just before season ends.

Re: Last minute ski day

Thanks to everyone who attended, we all had a great day. The weather was sunny it was a little windy up at the top but that didn't deter us. The snow conditions were good the slopes were quite empty in some places and I am now truly exhausted after an epic day of skiing as keeping up with the boys was very tiring....

I would like to say an extra thanks to the guys for pushing me that little bit further today and for being supportive as I skied my first ever black run and then went on to ski a second black run. Thanks guys for keeping me smiling and positive all day long and for helping me believe in my skiing ability. I had a fantastic day and I can't stop smiling

Re: Last minute ski day

Well, courage and free spirit are key factors to success. I tried to rep you for organizing the event but unfort. must spread other green blobs first before I'll be able to do that again, so just a verbal green blob for you
