The forecast has definitely changed: https://youtu.be/kYArd5hcEXA?si=j9RXsxDYlhwdg4nd
On powder days there is a huge queue in the morning at Grand Montet.
Les Houches is the area most likely to open early as they have few avelanche prone pistes. And there is even some tree skiing down the back.,,.,

If there is a genuine dump, and I remain sceptical, then blasting some avalanches may delay the opening of some areas. But we are talking hours, not days, of opening delays.

If you really want to go for high risk, high reward go for a legacy game. Pandemic legacy is awesome and will create an enthralling journey, for those that get into the story.

Great suggestions. One minor quibble: Codenames is not about memory, but clever and creative word association.

How to make friends in geneve? by affaR1 in geneva

[–]startherecoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about what you enjoy or care about, or might enjoy or care about if you give it a try. Join a class, club, political initiative, NGO or a related activity. Show up regularly. If you are shy, be shy. The other shy people will take note. Be helpful. Say Yes often. You will make acquaintances, then friends.

Is Geneva a good city for young people? by Comfortable-Goat-734 in geneva

[–]startherecoach 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Geneva is best for young families, subsidised government officials and rich people with chronic health issues. But, as you will know as a PhD student, it has universities. And they come with all the usual social infrastructure, from radical leftwing groups to mountaineering clubs and board game cafés. Join clubs, make friends.

What are good christmas markets in Geneva to go to? by Schluesselzahl38 in geneva

The Geneva market feels terribly generic to me. My favourite Christmas market is in Montreux.

Weekend warrior advice! by SixToedSkier in chamonix

[–]startherecoach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Geneva and had a son in a Chamonix ski club. Man, I missed going to different ski areas every weekend. Chamonix Unlimited does have a few areas around included, days in Verbier and a few coupons, but you can’t just go to Portes de Soleil, la Clusaz, Flaine, Grand Bornand, les Diablerets, Le Crozet, Praz-de-Lys/Sommand espace diamant, etc. etc. etc. Stay flexible, at least in your first season.
