WOW :shock: That's quite a change in the weather. The pictures 24hours before show green fields!

All you have to hope now is that it STOPS snowing before the event. :wink:

I doubt it very much - unless there was an obvious public safety issue. Snow is part of the Swiss way of life. :D It's only here in the UK that everything grinds to a halt with 1cm of snow! :evil:

In Switzerland, throughout all the winter, most of the public footpaths are kept clear of snow for hillwalkers. 8) Unless the snow is particualrly heavy or visibility is affected, I think you can safely assume that life goes on as normal. :D

Well i'm at the village "Axalp" at the moment.. At the moment it has stopped snowing.. but looking behind our chalet.. it brings not too much hope of good weather :(
it keeps snowing from time to time. Luckily, the road is driveable downwards.

Last monday it was 50 degrees in the sun.. now it's 0 degrees. Talk about weather changing fast ;)

About the visability.. hope it clears up! Clouds passing Axalp at ground level..

Axalp time!!

Post by Birdman »

Hi!

@ Grimmi: Well, a 5 step would be a bit to much, lol. I took a two step Altrex up the Tschingel once because of all the people there. It wasn't really nessesary so you won't see me doing that again any time soon ;-)

And @ all, let's hope for good weather, sunny and dry so we can enjoy the snow as we like it there! I will only be there on monday and tuesday, due to surcomstances. But it's could be the best day's!

Have fun, and walk/hike safely!!

Greetings,
René

The show have been cancelled today due to bad weather. There was 1 big cloud hanging over the mountains which kind of stayed there all morning and early afternoon.

Hopefully the weather will clear up for tomorrow.....
