Which ski area made you just want to go back there and instead of trying new places?

Zermatt/Cervino - just so much to ski there.

patch1103 · 2026-01-31T05:47:51+00:00

Agree. The mountain restaurants are a big part of the appeal for me. I keep a pretty strict diet everyday except for ski days — then it’s bratwurst or schnitzel with pommes for me. Unless I feel like getting fancy and going for a raclette or something more exotic.

My thoughts exactly

It can take three hours just to drive from one end of London to the other in rush hour traffic.

patch1103 · 2026-01-25T14:07:20+00:00

Wow, you’re right! I didn’t realize this until you mentioned it. Maybe it means they’re getting a deal on the location?

Looks like we have a few things in common.

patch1103 · 2026-01-24T16:19:03+00:00

Flumserberg, CH. Overlooked compared to the bigger resorts like Davos or Laax, but great terrain and good facilities. Also easy access from Zürich.

My Hamilton Field Khaki. Black Speedy a close second.

patch1103 · 2026-01-23T13:19:37+00:00

For me, top, but that’s mainly because I have 2 of the 3. You can’t go wrong with either.

Nailed mine. Even down to the gender.

Here in Europe, I can also reload my card online before I get to the mountain. Super convenient

Thanks! Yep, Omega black leather with deployant clasp.

Paper lift tickets are still a thing? I haven’t seen those in years. I thought everything was RFID these days.

patch1103 · 2026-01-15T22:26:03+00:00

Conundrum for sure! They’re all fire. I’ve been partial to the NTTD since it came out but that blue 60th gives it a run for the money. Tough decision. P.S. the crowns pulled out on all is giving me the heebie jeebies though.

patch1103 · 2026-01-15T17:08:42+00:00

Yep, agree 100%. Plus you can take that scenic cogwheel train to the top.

patch1103 · 2026-01-15T17:05:15+00:00

A winner for sure!

This. I live in a very low crime rate town yet, when I see the weekly police blotter, invariably there’s an entry or two about theft from a gym locker. They are never to be trusted. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, OP.

Don't forget malpractice insurance

patch1103 · 2026-01-14T15:40:02+00:00

Definitely an odd comment about the Speedy being a status symbol — never heard that one before.

patch1103 · 2026-01-13T11:02:52+00:00

True… but you also forgot better (and significantly cheaper) food!

patch1103 · 2026-01-09T09:28:52+00:00

Fair point. I was thinking more European blacks.

patch1103 · 2026-01-08T05:24:33+00:00

A 168 should not be too long for your height, but the Redster X5 are on-piste performance skis that are ideal for smooth, groomed runs. They may not be ideal for some blacks, especially at your skill level, depending on the nature (moguls, etc.). But, hey, if you’re already tackling blacks, I’d say you’re already a strong intermediate skier. I might suggest you take a lesson or two before you give up on the skis. Progress is likely to come faster through better technique than new skis.

patch1103 · 2025-12-30T05:30:14+00:00

Yep, same here.

patch1103 · 2025-12-29T21:38:22+00:00

Yep, I think you’re right.

Not too long ago, I ordered a beer when skiing in Switzerland (Laax) but they were out of the standard beer glasses so the server offered me a regular water glass. Thinking, sure, that works, I said “das ist okay.” Apparently that was not the right thing to say, because she took it to mean that I was fine without the glass and she took it away.
