Sun Wallis is just about 200m from the place I'm staying, didn't know that they are into snowboards though. Went there already a few times for bike repair material (they don't carry that much though, so sometimes one is forced to ride to that village before Sion where there is the next big bike store - won't be competing in the GRC this year however due lack of training - maybe I redecide for short GRC, did Verbier-Grimentz 3 years ago - with annulation on the last ascent)

I bought a day pass which cost me 60 Stutz.

Besides others I met Sevrine from Crans, you might know him he's a really cool guy. Working quite a lot so I didn't make it to Montreux, would have loved to otherwise.

lifts closed at around 1.30 (the t-bars) so that's when we took our stuff and went up the Allalinhorn to make the best of the day. Descending the North Ridge/Face you need to have a long stick to make it over eventual gaps, some speeds helps a lot too.

I should make it up to Saas Fee for one day for the Oxess Festival, drop me a message If you show up too.
