Europe 2025/26

Yes I could navigate those on my own and we did on the day after being guided.

The Euros do not ski on cloudy, snowy days - sometimes to their detriment.

Tomorrow, Saturday with sun and new snow will be busy.

That has glacial features. You have to know the section to be skiing hard skier's right to avoid them. Not sure I would try that 7 years later.

It’s easier than one would think. Skiers right hugging the rock wall/cliff (we skied) or skier’s left on opposite side almost hugging opposite rock bands. There are some guidance tracks other skiers too.

Center Steinberg is heavily crevassed.

Ah, the unofficial guide explains Steinberg and why you're considering Galtiberg.

We are dependent on 20 + year old memories. Glaciers could move

Most brought harnesses.

Chris, are those figures CM or IN? I assume IN.

Remains astonishing how difficult it is to get accurate snowfall information from these areas in the absence of live trip reports. Whiterisk reports 7 cm at the Titlis station for the past 3 days. Opensnow, which is normally highly suspect, actually shows an "estimated" 8 inches fell over the last 48 hours. Nothing on Engelberg's website. I dont recall a single forecast since I've begun tracking this over the last two weeks or so calling for anything like that.

Good for you, those photos look great! Engelberg will have to wait for a different year for me.

We elected to go with Serre Chevalier and arrive Monday. Looks like a storm Monday night/Tuesday so looking forward to some actual Alps treeskiing, a first for me.
