So, what do you say, up for a day of skiing?! Do hope there are some fellow skiers around in here! Let me know!

Don't any TTers ski?

We live just around the corner from the Alps, in case you didn´t notice it on Saturday when it was Föhn. ;-)

No, Irony aside, but I would love to talk some skiing with someone, noone interested?!?!

I'm interested big style but I can't go this weekend, and unless I go the weekend after that I'm pretty much booked to around the 10th of December for weekend trips..

I'm really keen though, and there seems like there are quite a few companies that offer day trips to local hills for a reasonable cost. In fact, I think I might start a thread on this..

carpediem - I'm signed up for this since a week back, so you'll see me there (o jag är oxå svensk). Jayhay also just signed up - should be a great day out!

Cool eriiki! See you then.
Missing out on something, hutcho, but keep end of february free, when we´re off again!

hey! thanx for the heads up jay. sounds like great fun you guys..

I'm still in Düsseldorf working my ass off at the factory (13 to 14 hours a day!! )

I hope to be able to make it by end of November latest back to TT.

if there is another tour then I will definitely be up to it..

count me in for a day out with the scandinavians - always a blast. the disco on the bus home last year was a sight to behold!

I can't for wait for this, I am so psyched!
A chance to try my new (well, ebay-new ) skis and boots out!

Any other TTers going to come along to help me out-ski (and out-drink) the Scandis?
Only kidding .. (fat chance of either), but still, should be a good day out

Hi

Last year i learnt skiing and very much interested and planning to go for skiing this winter.Please let me know if i can join to do the skiing,since i have not done much of the skiing in Glacier.

Thanks

Srivatsa, glacier skiing is normally not as difficult as "normal", so yes, It would be no problem for you! See you on tuesday then! Just send an email to our registration-email address, info@fromnorth.de

Cheers!

Signing up for this skiday is now possible til thursday!!!

Looking forward to see you all on the slopes!

I only learnt last year as well. The nice thing about skiing on a glacier is that the slopes tend
to be quite wide and not very steep - the best conditions for getting back into the groove!
(and the views aren't bad from 3000m, either )

what are the timings?

btw, the sign up link on the site is inactive.

if usual, leave isartor at about 6-6:30am, returning mid-evening after a good apres-ski session at the foot of the glacier.

any chance of first timers also hoppin on?

Sure, absolutely no problem for first-timers to join the ride!

I'm in aswell.

I´ve received some questions regarding departure time/point etc, so thought I´d summarize it here:

Departure is on Tuesday, November 1st
from ISARTOR at 06:30 AM. (exact location there will be mailed to those that sign up!)

Arrival Skiresort ca 2-3 hrs later, depending on traffic situation.

Departure Skiresort 4:30 PM (6 PM if afterski at resort)
Arrival Munich (Isartor) ca 2-3 hrs later, again depending on traffic situation.

We still need some keen skiers to come and join us!

You can sign up until thursday, if places are still available! First come, first serve!

Hope to see you all on the slopes!

myself and girlfriend are interested

Coolerking, sent you a PM with some details!

I think I'd like to come as well. Some of my favourite people are swedes. What do we do about paying, do they let us know if we're in and then transfer the money or what?

Hi Allershausen - nice to hear that you like swedes
Yes, what you do is register to the email-address, you will then get a confirmation email with bank details and such!

weather report from snow-forecast.com is that the snow is still good (100cms) with a fresh dusting from the weekend. 40kms of piste open, so plenty to keep us amused for the day.

This is a very interesting prospect indeed but am currently down to work during the afternoon. If I can ditch that, I'll dust off the old snowboard (if us boarders are allowed!!) and come along.

Still looking for a few more skiers, so here again all the details!
See you on tuesday on the slopes!

I just signed up too - can't wait!

oh bugger, my skis are still 'sick' after the hammering they took on spring slush in france. far too many close encounters with rocks. oh well, not that my skiing will be up to much on the first day anyway!

The forecast's looking good for Tuesday.
I'm in Garmisch today and it's boiling. I was just gazing out of the window and
watching the cable-cars on the Wank to get myself into the mood for Hintertux.

Don't look at the link above.. if the weather stays like that the glacier is going to be like an elevated ice rink or a slush pond at best with all this warm weather we have been having...

Instead go here for a very promising report.. you could be skiing some fresh..

looking at that forecast, don't forget your goggles! cruising in fresh powder, ayyayyay, woohoo!!

Big THANK YOU to you all TTers for coming along and contributing to a great day out with a fantastic crowd! Ok, so I only heard that it was a good day, so hope you all thought so too...

Unfortunately, the skiconditions weren´t the best, hope that will improve within the next few weeks!

Hope to see you all again in February, when our next event is coming up...!

Anyone got any pictures? I would be interested to see them.

What were the conditions like? I would like to head to the slopes in the next couple of weeks, but not if it was really shit..

thanks a lot for a good day out . nice warming up skiing in the morning .no skiing in the afternoon as it was overcast with showers shame but you can't do anything with the weather . Overall the trip was well organised and will come with the scandinvians again
i would say to any skiers is to wait until there's more snow ,skiing on a glacier is not so exciting

It was a nice day, the snow wasn't bad and the brief patches of zero stopped me worrying about whether I was keeping my skis together (I couldn't see my feet). Roll on, ski season.

I took a few photos in the afternoon, when it was cloudy.

It was a good start to the season, my body aches all over so it must of been ok! A great friendly bunch of Scandinavians, who of course all spoke absolutely perfect English! Will definitely try to go again in Feb.

I had a great day also. Shame the weather wasn't better but still great to get an early day in.

Really well organised and would definitely join the From North crew again...
