We were out in Schwyz this past weekend, and the snow was outrageous. I got a bit of video from the town square in Schwyz (where the Swiss nation was born); this is also where the Untamed event in April will start from. I hope to get some good video throughout the event.
Here's a photo of us (I talked Jill into coming along for the snowfest):
I'll link to a few other pictures from the day if you're curious (these were all taken from on the course -- we hope to see significant snow melt between now and then!).
So, yeah, we're looking at snow shoes and goretex for the event -- it's barely more than 3 weeks away and the snow isn't going anywhere fast! This is one of those places where it'll be sunny and warm at the base, but cold and brutal up on top -- or, I've seen it foggy and rainy at the base and clear and divine up high. The weather is unpredictable so our group will have to just be prepared.
It's looking likely that we'll have some live tracking for the Untamed Switzerland event, too. We have to nail down the details, and I'll have a bit more computer nerd-work to finish, but it will be a great test run of the new hardware and be really fun to see how it all comes together. Ample distraction for those of you having to work April 18-20th!
