Well I visited the Engelberg Brunni side on Saturday from 8.30am as I'd never been there. All of the pistes were perfectly prepared and had nice snow. A few were hard to begin with, but softened nicely in the sun. Mostly we did each piste once, then tried to find powder beside the pistes. Overall it...

I was there on Sunday, but just did the Gemstock. Secret I heard from the locals is to come in the week, not at the weekend. Then there's no waiting. Off piste the snow looked pretty nice, but I didn't do it myself as I injured my shoulder last week and needed not to fall on it. If you're on piste o...

Hi Chose,

Thinking of doing either Stoos or Engelberg again this w/e - all red Spyder outfit, white helmet, on skis

Is it still stony on piste at Engelberg, or is there now enough snow to cover everything? What about Rotegg?

Obviously if there's no snow then it's difficult to open the slope, but if I look on the piste map I see that today there are 2 zubringerlifts running, then Dado, Plaun and Curnius lifts in the middle of the mountain, which enable skiing on maybe 1/10th of the resort. If these slopes can be opened, ...

I did Brunni / Mythenregion on Sunday. As with most other resorts, there is a lack of snow. Whether pistes had snow or not seemed to be a lottery based on sunshine and number of skiers. Weather was good. Oddly most of the people were on Haggenegg where the snow was worst, with Stälgeren and Holzegg ...

I was there today. Now almost all of the mountain is open, so we rode from top to bottom of the mountain 2x with a few loops plus a few goes down Jochstock. Pistes at the top were definitely better than at the bottom. Rotegg was still a bit rocky, but I managed not to trash my skis or fall over, but...

I went to Klewenalp on Saturday from Beckenried instead of going to Engelberg. Unfortunately it was extremely foggy so I had to ask people where to go to get to the first lift and go towards sounds rather than being able to see where I was going as there were neither signs nor piste map (at least th...

@ Chose, I looked for you and was doing the Stand 4-er lift most of the day in my all-red outfit, sometimes with one of the Prime ski instructors PM. I fell over 3 times, but snow was soft and I missed the rocks so it was fine. The conditions were really very lousy, with a nasty mix of low visibilit...

@chose, I look forward to saying hello on Sunday.

I'm looking forward to trying the additional pistes. Hopefully Jochstock will also be open soon - my colleagues tell me the off-piste / piste side skiing is great there.

That's good, I will go on Sunday again then. Easily recognisable as either I'll wear either all red or silver top and red trousers with white helmet. Would be good to say Hallo or hello depending on your preferred language.

For "normal" people I would personally not recommend trying to spend 1 day on the slopes when you start. Unless you are very fit, 2 hours is more than enough as you will spend your first lesson mostly walking around, lifting heavy skis, moving in ways your body is not familiar with and fal...

No way that was open last weekend, unless there was a grass skiing competition. Last year the Mythenregion opened on the 30th, and even then there were tufts of grass poking through the piste. This year my bet is on the 30th again, since there is 0-20cm on the piste now and only another 16cm forecas...

Wombat is right. In summary: Great snow up top, but if you want to ski lower down bring your rock skis and mogul knees. I went on Sunday - In contrast to last time there were no queues to get a ticket, then I spent the morning on the top pistes by the ice flyer on very nice pistes, with full snow co...

I thought about buying a life abo, but didn't mainly because the life abo only gives access to the Rotenfluh and a few of the Mythen area lifts, which would be a little limiting for a lifetime. Personally I think Brunni is a great area, but I do wish they'd get their act together to compete against ...

I went on the day it opened. It was a bluebird day, with visibility down as far as the Rhein. 3 short runs were open, one steeper red alongside the glacier hopper chairlift and 2 red / blues alongside a T-bar lift, all with plenty of moderately soft packed snow. By afternoon the steep run was develo...
