Sehr unwahrscheinlich. Das Aufbegehren. Der Mainstream will dass SRF spart. In der Tendenz werden eher höherwertige/anspruchsvolle Sendungen/Eigenproduktionen gestrichen. Vorauseilender Gehorsam, es droht eine Volksinitiative mit existenzbedrohenden Budgetkürzungen. In meinen Kollegenkreis (25-45J) spielt SRF so gut wie keine Rolle mehr. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sportfernsehen.
80% Unterhaltung nach meiner Einschätzung und kostenlose News konsumieren.

Gerade auf SRF Info die 'Einschätzung' der Wirtschftsredakteurin dazu gehört: Alles relativ, gem. Weltbank habe die Zahl der extrem Armen seit den 90ern auch abgenommen. Sie hat nicht dargelegt was die beiden Zahlen miteinander zu tun haben und hat sich selbst relativiert aber ihre suggestive Grundaussage bleibt hängen: Die Zahlen von Oxfam sind Schall und Rauch.
Leider erwarte ich inzwischen von Wirtschaftsredaktionen kaum mehr etwas.

It was hard to go for a run this afternoon after sitting on the Couch and watching the Lauberhorn race.
I was a little bit stiff and had to walk for more than 200m in the forest due to a dog walker who didn't have his free running hunting dogs under control.

Today we claimed the Lachenstock (almost).
We started early and climbed at the end of lake Wägital a quite steep hiking path with our skis. There were surprisingly many others on their skies this early, but most of them went up to Redertenstock. So after some time we were all alone and struggled a little bit with extremely steep tiny valleys which caused some detours. We ascended a nameless summit just north of the Lachenstock. Less wind and a promising descent. The way back was also adventurous. I got attracted by an untouched creek which sides became deeper and steeper. At the end I needed to shoulder my skis and climb out of there.
All in all a absolutely great and lovely landscape.

@nprofile…j7fc it was 3. But the focus was just the very basics. Mainly know your gear and know what to do if anything happens. The best gear is useless if you don' t know how to handle it.
I decided to start with a surprise: Everybody needed to fixate their avalanche probe and set their avalanche transceiver to search before the theory session (not just some of kids struggled with both). I hope after that my appeal to the participants to train the handling at home was understood better.

What a busy week it was.
Organizational preparations for an alpine club avalanche rescue training. Year end celebration with the family of my wife. On new year ski touring. After that a day on the slopes with my son. On Friday preparation of the avalanche rescue training on site. Finally on Saturday the avalanche training for the family mountaineering group. 7 kids, 7 parents, 1 trainee and 4 supervisors. All went quite well. We had great weather conditions and almost 1m of snow. At the end a little bit untouched powder (the goodie for being the lead), some coffee and Schlorzifladen and finally on the slopes back to the valley. I needed the full Sunday for recovery so I just did a small stroll with my wife.

@nprofile…03x0 Nach meiner persönlichen Erfahrung, leben die meisten in einer Parallelwelt zusammengesetzt aus kruden Halbwahrheiten, in der wahlweise / wechselweise die Grünen und / oder die EU für alles Übel verantwortlich gemacht wird. In dieser Realität kann es die AFD gar nicht schlimmer machen, weil sie gemäss ihrer Selbstwahrnehmung schon mit einem Bein über dem Abgrund stehen.
Wobei ich niemanden kenne, der offen zugeben würde AFD zu wählen. Das Dauergeschimpfe und Geschwafel vom kurz bevorstehenden Untergang (der Wirtschaft / der Werte) durch Grüne / EU legt aber den Schluss nahe, dass es keine / nur noch eine minime Hemmschwelle gibt.

I was skiing with two of my three kids on Wednesday.
Great weather, not many people, very well prepared slopes, fair prices, relaxed traveling by public transport. It was our first time in Wildhaus and I can recommend it for families.

@nprofile…6x5x @nprofile…fecl exactly. Or they try to leave 'officially' but stay nothing the less because they either way want to profit from all the benefits. If you raise a tax you also need to ensure there are no loopholes. Some communities here are quite effective to find 'have officially left' inhabitants, who try to avoid higher community taxes. I think a tax as well as effective controls are necessary.

@nprofile…wtsq As soon as the sun came out it was great. The powder lays on old crusty, icy snow. So there is a high risk of small avalanches in steeper parts. We did the few steeper parts (up and down) with huge distances. However we saw another group ascending another summit without distance between the persons causing a small avalanche. Nothing happened there apparently. It went down below and beneath them.
The downhill parts had indeed very nice powder as well as all powder blown away. 50/50 I'd say.

What I want to add is that the Flumserbergbahnen raised the prices for us to a level we are not willing to pay. Until and including Wednesday we bought depending on the tour one or two single rides or a hiking ticket and we explained what we will do of course to the seller. Not cheap, but fair. Yesterday we suddenly needed to buy a ski touring ticket. With Halbtax 32,- and each kid 26,- for two single rides. Especially the price for kids is ridiculous. I am very sure kids payed less than 13,- last year and adults 26,-.
One further destination got erased from our touring calendar.

I guided a SAC family mountaineering group today. Four kids, three parents and two guides.
In the ascent we had trong winds, snow and no contrast the whole morning. But as forecasted just before our descent the sun came out. We had some really good powder and a pleasant day.

@nprofile…fecl Same nonsense here in Switzerland. They asked the billionaires if they would leave if their wealth would be taxed. Absolutely surprising the vast majority answered: for sure.
Consequence: Economists warn, if you tax the wealth of the super rich you are going to earn less money because the vast majority of them will leave and pay no taxes at all.

Some impressions of our ski tour near the Flumser Berge yesterday.
We ascended the Rainissalts from the east and descended on the north side. The snow is a somewhat dangerous if it's very steep as the 30-40cm powder lay on an icy, hard frozen old snow surface and it's not well connected yet. At the upper part we decided just one person should ski down in the steepest parts at a time and falling was forbidden. As a further precaution we avoided all steep part and therefore departed from the official track to chose the safest way down. As a very nice side effect we had two further very enjoyable downhill parts as well as two further ascends.
A great break out from the week long grays at the lower parts of Switzerland.

@nprofile…3cyv Many years ago I went camping with my wife at a camping side in the woods at Rügen. The night was hot, so no sleeping shirt for me. After a few hours of sleep I got scared awake. Something has scratched over my shoulder. Lights on. Nothing to be found. Must have been a weird dream. Falling asleep again. Something scratched my upper body again. Now 100% awake we searched the tent form end to end. Turned out to be a tiny mouse with big cute black eyes which had bitten a hole through both tent layers.

For once we struggled a little bit in Airolo as the Postauto didn't wait for the delayed train. (It was just 4 minutes, so everyone was quite surprised) Thankfully a mountain guide organized for his group an alpen taxi with two spare seats so we were lucky enough to start our tour as planned in All'Acqua.
The ascend was quite challenging for my son but a good training field for hair pin bends between bushes and fallen trees with almost 1m of slightly compacted powder.
Unfortunately his boots did not fit as well as expected so we lost a lot of time with improvising. At half past 12 we decided to end the ascend and to ski down after a relaxed picnic. We reached the Postauto back to Airolo just in time. A relaxed father and son day in the snow.

Today I finished my first running event. The Kyburg Trail 21.1km.
The weather was foggy, the temperature always below 10°C.
As expected the others started too fast for me. Despite having started at the last third of the 172 starters it felt as a lot passed me by. That changed for the first time when the trail became slightly more technical and steep. At the last steep, slippery downhill single trail I passed a lot of runners who cautiously walked down. That part was real fun as well as the following single trail near the Töss river with jumps over fallen trees and once crawling underneath. Also the last steep part up with the stairs went fairly well. However my right calf and left thigh are pretty tired now.
I am really happy to have achieved all my goals.
✅ finished healthy (minimum)
✅ faster than 2:40 (realistic)
✅ faster than 2:30 (estimated best)
A big thanks to the organisers. I will definetly attend again.
21.1km, 2:19h, 586hm

For once I decided to start from home and stay in the fog. A nice run from the south to the north of the Irchel and back. Not much views at the viewpoints I passed.
But due to the weather quite lonesome in comparison to sunny Saturdays.

Finally I was able to do a decent training session. My ankle has recovered and the cold I catched last week is gone.
My afternoon hill climb interval training in Zurich went quite well.

I just was at my first 'kind of' punk rock concert for a veeeeery loooong time. Went there for listening to the opening act Genn. And they did great. I would have loved they'd played for longer than just 40 minutes.
The main act Dead letter started a little bit lame in comparison, but I must say they really delivered in the end. The longer they played the better. And they managed to animate almost the whole crowd to dance. As far as I can say not the easiest job in Switzerland.
Glad to have been there.

I did some base endurance training at this nice evening run.

What a challenging trail run in my first day off.
Travelled by train to my starting point in Nesslau. There it goes up steep and it was extremely muddy. With huge water filled holes in the meadows caused by the cows. Quite challenging not to become completely soaked within the first three kilometres. The trail continues to Speer but I turned right to Rossalp below the Chli Speer (little Speer). There the trail goes a little bit up and down. Again very muddy, slippery rocks and further down wet roots and leaves. The last three kilometres back down into the valley were a little bit annoying because I needed to open and close the electric fences for the cows every hundred metres. And just before reaching Ebnat-Kappel a rain shower got me.
A sandwich and a big coffee later I relax in the train on my way back home. Good thing I carried a rain skin as well as a spare shirt.

What a great day. We started at Hulftegg and ran up to the Schnebelhorn. My companion decided there he wants to give his max. So we skipped the original plan and proceeded to Chrüzegg. There we made a bigger break at the Beiz, ate some soup with Rivella and Suure Most. Back on the trails up to Chrüzegg, Habrütispitz and Höchhand, Schwarzenberg and finally up to the Farner. After that down to Wald, there I grabbed a coffee and hopped back on the train.
A little bit more than 26km, almost 1300m EG.

On my way to Steg to meet up with a friend for a trail run. That will be our first time running together. A long time ago we used to cycle together. Two years ago I convinced him to go to a ski tour with me and now we go several time a year together. With the kids almost grown up you gain a lot of freedom again.

@npub1zsw…h7xk nice, but I fear at least one of my family would doubt me. Either my wife or one of my three kids. Better to not test it. :sweatsmile

Sunday Trailrun with some minor difficulties. At the first km a young Herman shepard decided that I am for toying despite of me just walking and then standing still as soon as I realized the owner was completely helpless and definetly not the boss. Not so much fun when an unknown dog jumps up to you. After km 8 I mad an unplanned detour and ran into a branch with my ear. Ouch.
The rest of the run was pure enjoyment. The fresh air, the autumn lights and the first yellow leaves. The 250 stairs at the very end worked really well, all in all 400 stairs up.
Furthermore I really like the grip of my La Sportiva Bushido. I am absolutely surprised how well they work on muddy downhills.

Tomorrow is finally going to be a dry sunday in the mountains. I think that should be all the gear I need.

@npub1npy…3sf4 It absolutely was. I was surprised the powder was that great despite of the relative high temperatures. Spring below 1400m and still winter above.

I participated in a guided tour today. We ascended the Steingässler near Flums. Great weather and wonderful powder.

1/2 Yesterday my first skitour at the canton of Ticino. We started from Ossasco and went up to the "Capanna Cristallina". Much more snow then forecasted. At least 30cm. Unfortunately for us the strong winds in the morning compressed the surface quite well.
Due to the avalanche risk (3-) and to the fact neither of us knew the region we decided to ski the same way down instead of doing the more steep options in the west (30° up to 40°+). Some other groups did it, but for us it's always better safe than sorry.
