I was last friday there. But i can't agree with that. Ok there were
some Places with hard/Ice spots and dirty snow. If you say: Other
years had more snow at this time. Than got you right.


I was going to go to Davos over the Easter break but in the end we
all decided to cancel due to really bad reports from people who were
there ... went up to Flumserberg on Sunday just to take a visitor for
sightseeing and even at the top the snow was 'slush puppie'
consistency, glad I didn't bring my skis.

So... anywhere left where there's at least some hope of half-decent
skiing _this_ weekend? With all the snow we've had this year I was
really hoping for nice skiing right up until the end of season but the
incredible heat has put an end to all of that.

Despite the weather, Hoch Ybrig has announced it's closing on 1st May.

Yup. But it seams to me more a 1. April Joke. This resort is not very
high. If the temperery warm as now, is the snow quick away.
