Verbier: 16-18 Mar 2011

[ysb33r]

I'll be in Verbier from 16-18 Mar 2011 with my brother (who is still on skis).

Anyone want to meet up and ride?

Also any suggestions as to good rides would be welcome.

Cant make it, traveling back from Hinterglemm on 16th. If the weather is clear, whatever you do, dont miss going up to the Mont Fort glacier. Easy skiing on perfect snow. Perfect for trying new things, but you need a whole area lift pass, local lift pass does not cover it. If you are expert, the Mont Fort bumps under the cable car is a real challenge, one of Europe's legendary runs. The ride back to Verbier Village through the trees is lovely, but easy as long as its not icy. If off piste is your thing there are some great places just about everywhere. If you want to fling your whole bank account at a single meal, go the the Vieux Verbier just by the main lift and order Potence. Very memorable :)
Trust me, Verbier aint cheap, but its worth it. If you smoke, try Villager Vanilla Mini cigars.
Probably best to forget about buying anything :)
Tip: the ski techs are second to none in Verbier, so if you dont do your own servicing, get them to do it before you come home.
Where are you staying?

Where are you staying?

No idea. Brother is arranging everything. He lives in Vevey (about 1.5h away)

Sorry, can't make it either. That's a shame...
We should try and organize a European Shredfest!!!

Sounds like an idea for next season, but where?

We could not get any accommodation in Verbier. Looks like Villars or Crans-Montana now. Dates are the same if anyone is interested.
