A colleague was in Zermatt yesterday and reckoned conditions were
pretty good, but as she's recovering from a broken ankle I don't
suppose she went off-piste. But it's 85% open, so probably worth a
punt. Next door Saas Fee's looking pretty good too, with better runs
to resort at the mo. I'm hoping for a big dump before I head down
there on Friday.

There's been no snow across the country for a few days and it's been
relatively mild, although it was near zero around here (nr. Basel)
last night so perhaps it's getting colder again.

Crap round here - Eastern Switzerland. Will be cool but sunny all week
(actually glorious right now). Stay away...

Just checked the 6-day forecast - sunny all week with freezing levels
getting higher...



p.s. Simon, I do wish you'd bottom-post and/or put your sig right at
the bottom of the post - most decent (i.e. not outlook) newsreaders
snip everything below the dash-dash-blank line, so any earlier context
needs to be manually c&p back in.

It's quite weird, actually. Round here it's foggy and down to about -5
overnight, at a guess, meaning there's been a fair deposit of hoar
frost on the roads. Glad I put the winter tyres on the Volvo at the
weekend.

That is how it should be. Unnecessary quotes should be removed by the
newsreader and simon provides it by putting it under the dash-dash-blank
line.
