Great idea mate, I could write it off against tax here in Germany also (probably) )

I have decided it is my favorite country to go to for boarding. Well not just for boarding, in general I love the whole ambience in the Swiss mountains.

Was the past weekend in Saas Fee and whilst I did not get too much riding done, I obtained the elusive 30th day this season (if Oct - Aug can be classified a season)and fullfilled my goal.

But all in all I had a fantasic weekend. Really great food, a few beers, some riding, outdoor performance of a Beatle tribute band on Friday night and Cow Fighting on Sunday :)

Will definately be taking a few days down there this winter.

Post some piccies after my tea!

So back to original question, done a wee bit of research and it seems easier now than a few years ago....I just know somebody will be able to help.

Yes!! Where are you thinking?

I was thinking about Saas Fee actually, even though I aint seen it in Winter yet, but it's about the quickest to get to from here and unfortunately I need to keep the job :cry:

I would have to do most of that here in Germany to be honest. I read that amongst the cantons that allow foreigners to buy there is a certain allocation per year but they trade these permits amongst themselves if there is demand in one area and surpluss in another. It's a very immature idea right now, but it's the reason I have held off buying in Germany....lets get on the PM.

Zermatt or Saas Fee for this weekend?

Have you done Saas Fee? I would go Saas Fee if you haven't.

Good advice.

Saas Fee it is, faster to get to, somewhere new, couple of runs in the mornings, bit of photography in the afternoon and cow fighting on Sunday!!

Mayerhofen is nearly as good as beer.

Just think how much street cred this guy gets! I used to say, I would be happy to die skiing down the north face of the Eiger, but not until I am 90 years old. That was 20 years ago. Have now moved the target age to 100!

The man was flown by air ambulance to Melbourne for treatment after his friend raised the alarm.

I heard this was his older mate. When he called emergency services, the call lasted half an hour. The batteries were running low on the hearing aid. :roll:

after bring up close to the Eiger I can assure you skiing down the North Face would turn to hurtling through several thousand feet of thin air very shortly after you begin.
