looking forward to go there. I just hope it's not too windy, because otherwise it's hard to get the right speed.

it's gonna be sooooooo ill when it opens.

I'm really wondering about this weekend because someone who was up there told me it's a lunar surface up there... all grey ice and no snow.... but there's so many people heading up there this weekend for the opening and everyone still claims it will open.

Either way, the features are shaped and ready....

I'm going

Franca chill, u live like near the glacier If i cant ski that week I have to wait till end of december. So yeaa I got every reason to worry. I know ppl who went up the glacier and said there is now snow only ice, the park features are there tho!! Did u see weather forecast? Aint good... For me it is btw its gonna rain next week so means snow on 3000m.

they actually opened the glacier today at Diablerets.

Pipe was closed and they had some small kickers. I'm glad I'm eating snowflakes at Zermatt which is being shat upon as we speak... they predict a couple of feet of fresh by tomorrow morning... YEAAAH
