although I’ll be in Switzerland so maybe I should be doing some research ?
Still firing in Engelberg and Andermatt per the fellow who hosted me over there. If you're in Zurich, you're a short train ride away.

MJ has been like a ghost town, so few skiers. And Panorama/Sunny Side have been open, in addition to MJ runs. (Last there Monday.) Even during the powder last week, no one was there.
(But this week's current cycle doesn't seem to have hit WP/MJ, any more than it has A Basin.)

I have a weekend stay, so I’m mentally packing my boots. Looking at potential closing dates over a beer sounds like a pleasurable evening activity...
Thanks, Mike but stuck with A-basin as I've got some free kids tickets we need to burn. Note for those with kids that A-basin gives two free lift tickets to kids, but you need to sign up online before like mid-Nov. Look for the deal on the A-basin website next fall.Maybe consider MJ? I will probably get there early and can let you know how parking looks.
How much did Abasin get out of this?
Mostly it's that low due to last years horrific snow season and summer drought. It's not any lower now than it was at the end of last summer.I think that's accurate. It's going to be an insane runoff season, especially with its delayed start and additional snow we keep seeing. Once it gets warm, it will be all time run-off levels. I know a few kayaker friends that are basically resigned to many standard fun rivers not being runnable until late in the season unless you've got big cajones.
That spot in the middle is Axel.

A little sun, but bring the surfy tools as it slowly bakes.

Would have been an excellent day to climb, but we are so tired that we forgot Axel’s boots. Lots of people up Willlys.

Land of The Giants looks Delish
Is Pali closed? How about that Beavers area?
Open. Open.
Only the Steep Gullies are closed due to wet slide. This could be mid-March.
