Hey Powder Phantoms,
Halloween is creeping up on Frankfurt, and the mountains are getting ready too: snow is forecast for this weekend, a fresh white sheet over the glaciers. Oldest costume in the book, still works.Your turn on Wednesday. Pumpkin, vampire, avalanche in disguise: show up dressed for Halloween and your shot is on us.
Further down: our HINTERTUX bus needs rescuing before it turns into a ghost story, and there's a sneak peek at the powder on its way. So keep reading!
GHOST BUS ALERT – SAVE THE BUS, CATCH THE SNOW
The Ghostbuster – HINTERTUX | Thu 26 – Sun 29 Nov
Our bus is turning pale: without enough sign-ups by Friday noon, it vanishes. The trip still runs, but by U-Drive, so grab a seat and keep the bus solid.
Single rooms still available
Sign-ups close Fri 23 Oct, 12:00
Trip Captain Jesse: tc21.hintertux@fscev.org
The glacier just posted its first fresh snow, and forecasts show up to 84 cm more by early November, one of the biggest totals in the Alps!
Hintertux sent us its first fresh snow, complete with a four-legged scout testing the powder and our man in the mountains confirms there's snow at the top of his local mountain! And that’s just the warm-up: the forecast for the next two weeks has Engelberg topping the charts and Hintertux right up there with them. Engelberg? Yes, that one’s on our list for March. Just saying.

NO TRICKS –JUST TRIPS!
No countdown on these ones: three adventures still looking for their crew, plus one that filled up early.
Which character are you?
The Powder Hound – ANDERMATT
Gemsstock is steep, snowy and made for sniffing out powder, while Sedrun over the pass is the sunny option for lazier tails.

Room for more hounds in the pack
Trip Captain Ralph: tc21.andermatt@fscev.org
The Sleepwalker – PORTES DU SOLEIL
The hotel sits about 100 m from the Linga lifts, so you could practically sleepwalk to first chair. Wake up properly by lunch, which you’ll be having in Switzerland.
Fri 15 – Mon 18 Jan | Bus from Frankfurt
Filling up fast, so don’t snooze on this one
Trip Captain Christine: tc21.chatel@fscev.org
The Daredevil – CHAMONIX
Ride the Aiguille du Midi up to 3,842 m, gateway to the Vallée Blanche, or take the freshly reopened Grands Montets summit, where north faces hold their snow. Back down, Mont Blanc is your breakfast view, and at Chambre Neuve people are dancing on tables by six.
Thu 4 – Sun 7 Feb | Bus from Frankfurt
