Grindelwald Season Stats

The Swiss love their trains..

As its just past mid-summer, this is obviously the time to think about snow. Found this clever little tool on the website of the resort I was in last season, that tallys up all your days on the hill, and gives you a breakdown of what lifts you used, when, vertical that day etc..

So, from 15/12/08 - 17/04/09:

78 Individual days skiing in Grindelwald

803 lifts used

366914 m vertical over the course of the season - more than I thought it would be, as Grindelwald is a bit of a flat resort

6 days in Chamonix on a course

6 days working in Courmayeur

Which gives us a grand total of 90 days skiing last season, with a few ski touring days as well.

NUMBER OF DAYS CLIMBING: 1 - Not so good.
