We had some incredible skiing with the guys from snowride.net in January last year.

This truly was the stuff that dreams are made of. Travelling to Engelberg we knew it had been snowing - on arrival the snow had stopped, but started again overnight and kept going non stop for four days. Due to the heavy snowfall most of Mount Titlis was closed, but, no problem, the guys from Snowride guided us through waist deep snow on the Brunni, the safer side of the valley.

We were able to make descents through areas you can only ride through after a huge dump, we were riding over walls, fences, down roads, past cattle sheds in a never ending deep and white world. There are so many routes through the trees to Engelberg when there is this much snow - but the highlight of the Bruni descents must be down to Grünenwald, where you catch the hourly train back to Engelberg.

On the Thursday, the weather cleared, blue skies, super cold (-22 at 2500m) and amazing snow. We were some of the first to be on Titlis, first tracks were made down Gross and Klein Sulz, we then made our way to the Laub, a huge slab of 35 - 45 degrees off piste heaven with over 1000m of vertical. The snow was so deep and light you could just let your self go, speed was not a concern as the snow was so perfect. We made endless huge turns in the most perfect snow - a highlight of my ski experiences.

So overall, incredible terrain, but you do need a guide to get the best from the area, check out http://www.snowride.net to arrange guiding - highly recommended.
