Theoretically the can overcome the melt rate by persistantly pumping water whilst there is no natural precipitation and it's below freezing, therefore slowing the rate of decline or overcoming it. Increasing pumping capacity further increases the effect.

That sounds great!! Let's club together and buy a train. 8)

Bagsy not driving.

Just charming, picking on the minority.

Now this seems like a more sensible idea for the missing section at Trockner Steg in Zermatt.

In conjunction with the snow making plant to put a top layer on it, it would massively reduce the energy required to keep that section open.

Trains are good, most British people don't get this cos they are crap in the UK with the exception of those leaving the UK.

what about the token snowboarder :(

I'm with Bandit on this one, I enjoy most conditions above and below me, heck I even snowboard in mud and rain.

Only thing I don't like is ultra flat light. Lose all sense of perspective. That's where the mountain huts come in handy.

Sounds like a great route, will be interested to hear more about price.
