Skinning up towards the Gottard pass

The team have been skiing in Andermatt for the week. Despite no fresh snow for seven days I have been seeking out some secret spots with powder and fresh tracks. Within an hours skin of the Gemstock lift system there is some awesome off-piste with very few tracks and unparalled views across the Furka and Gottard passes. These descents all end in the picturesque village of Hospental.

Andermatt

This weekend I skied in Andermatt with “The Lads!” Despite the lack of recent snowfall we did some ducking and diving, finding some nice soft snow. Getting to the sweet spots will be especially memorable for some. Alan described the traverse into Kangaroo colouir as “F*** trouser filling”. Once there we could relax and ski freshies all the way. We all had a free facial srcub (curtesy of 100kmh winds) and Shaun is still dreaming of Birdos skis (hand made in Andermatt by naked Sweeds!).
