Saas-Fee and Zermatt/Matterhorn are partly open. Good conditions.

I'm also bored and I wouldn't mind going to Engelberg tomorrow for a day's boarding as the SBB already offers Snow'n'Rail tickets for that station.
If anybody fancies going (or is definitely going) tomorrow let me know!

Not ideal teaching conditions, but better than demonstrating in the flat last night
Snowing heavily at village level since mid-afternoon, so should be some nice powder up top tomorrow; I'm just hoping the weather lifts enough to see it by.

Decision on piste opening to be made at 10;00.

Bulldozers out clearing the roads and stuff. Drifting up in places as it's quite windy at times too.
Forecast shows a warming and rain later in the week at village level, but staying well below freezing higher up, so with a little luck this snow might form a decent base for some of the lower runs to open in November.

| | | Re: Any slopes open ? Diavolezza is open since last weekend.
However it seems temporarily closed today, probably due to high winds and/or heavy snowfall.
