In 2022 it was time to start a new project. We open up a new area

We scouted this area years ago. Last year we explored a great part of it, but there are still areas, we have not skies yet. There are tree runs, open slopes and most of all lots of snow! On bad weather days we can start directly from the huts. On good weather days we can go up to 2'600m.

 

project X is and remains an adventure. The area is very remote, access is very difficult, and the cabins are very basic. Anyone choosing Project X must be aware of this.

 

Unfortunately, the first freeloaders are following us to project X. We will increase capacity to four groups next winter to avoid the need to book inexperienced freeloaders.

In 2022, we built a double cabin in an open area below the tree line. The site is sheltered from wind and avalanches. In the summer of 2025, we constructed another temporary cabin in the forest clearing.

The cabins are simple and feature a living and dining area. The number of bathrooms, each with a toilet, sink, and shower, is limited. The cabins can accommodate a total of four groups. The rooms have bunk beds and are designed for two, three, or four riders. Despite the basic accommodations, we provide a certain level of comfort. There is a sauna cabin outside.

Project X is going back to our roots – it's all about powder skiing...

Alignment

A new area means a lot of adventure and uncertainties. Therefore, the freeriders involved should be able to draw on sufficient experience.

 

It makes sense to carry skins in your backpack. Since the area is undeveloped, there are no guides who know their way around. Surprises are possible. We will further explore the area during the season.

Accommodation is inevitably basic. We are currently planning to have 2 groups in parallel. Last but not least, this increases safety.
