Snow! Snow! Snow! Ski resorts open early this year

Great news for winter sport enthusiasts. This week's snow fall enables most major ski resorts in Switzerland to open their ski lifts early. In the Bernese Oberland, Elsigenalp (Frutigen) start their season today. Don't ask me, why I have decided to go to work this morning, I don't know and mistakes happen :-)

Berner Zeitung (local newspaper) annouce that tomorrow, Saturday, November 17, 2007, 55 lifts and 145 kilometers will be open in the Bernese Alps, among them are Meiringen-Hasliberg, Grindelwald, Wengen-Kleine Scheidegg, Mürren, Grimmialp, Lenk, Jaunpass and Gstaad-Saanen. But check the local snow/lift reports before you choice a resort, most of them still operate only during the weekend and/or with a limited number of lifts.
