Klosters 26 Skiing In the aftermath of the Evil Elite Conference.

 Just spent four days skiing in possibly my favourite ski resort.  I still maintain that it has the best lift accessed of- piste skiing of any where I have ever been.  

Plus we got to stay in one of the most iconic ski hotels.  It is not one bit fancy, yet its history is so intertwined with the development of skiing with many of its pioneers having stayed here in its long illustious past.  [See previous posts about Klosters for more information]

Having said that, our first day was indifferent from a weather and conditions perspective, primarily,  it had not snowed in ages.  

Nevertheless it did snow overnight, not much, but enough.  Our second day allowed us to ski some long contiuous runs all the way down to Wolfgang for an always excellent lunch.  Afterwhich we took the bus to Davos, where they were still clearing up after the World Economic Forum, the so-called “Evil Elite,” who had evidently departed without stacking their chairs.

Now that I am President of the Association of British Mountain Guides it feels only right that I secure myself a delegate’s pass to the next gathering of the so-called Evil Elite so that I can tell them how it is.

Anyway we then rode the funicular to the Weissflujoch and skied back to Klosters.

Our third day the weather was beautiful. The snow was good.  The plan was to ski down the back of Madrisa to St Antonine .   Yet the key lift wasn't working.  So we relocated, rode the lifts to the summit of the Weissfluh and then skied dreamy snow through the Casannapass then through the immaculate alpages all the way down to my favourite Klosters mountain restaurant at Conterser Schewndi.

Klosters at its best.

Despite the pistes being busy we skied our route without seeing anyone else.

Our final day the weather was indifferent again but we still managed some long off piste descents before finishing with a late lunch once again in Wolfgang.

This time after eating  we just jumped on the train back to Klosters.

The thing about Klosters is that an indifferent day skiing in this resort is a wonderful day in most resorts.
