On the coming Saturday, March 22, let's go skiing to wonderful Flims-Laax. With an abundance of snow, the forecast promises -6C under 13 hours of sunshine. Train connection: Zurich HB to Chur at 7:38, Chur to Flims Dorf, Bergbahnen at 08:57. I am coming with a car, and can pick up somebody on my way from Baden. We all will meet at the valley station of the gondola to Plaun at 09:30. You won’t miss a tall mate in a bright yellow ski jacket. In any case, I will send a WhatsApp chat invit to all registered participants via PM here on Meetup. I assume all participants have sufficient skiing experience to feel at ease on read slopes and reasonably negotiate black ones. The event is for responsible individuals who ski at their own risk.
