Gstaad Park Tbar Closed For The Season

Yesterday we awoke to the devastating news that the T bar that services the park in Gstaad is officially shut down for the season due to a problem with the transmission.
Disappointed, we headed back up to Shilthorn to see if we could find anything fun to hit. The weather has recently gone back to warm spring conditions making it even more difficult to find fun features. We spent the morning searching whats still open in the resort. After a few hours all we could really find was a rope jump that was a little bit too sketchy to keep hitting.
With our tail between our legs we almost thought that would be it for the day and a beer and pommes at Burg was sounding much more inviting then continuing to ride the over slushy piste. But Marky hadnt had enough just yet so he suggested we go back to the house which we have been hitting quite a bit lately eat lunch and see how we feel after.
Once lunch was done the motivation levels hadnt rose much but Skinny thought getting up on the house and bomb dropping off, might be a fun way to kill some time.
Just like that the session was on. We spent the next 2 hours jumping off the house and shooting sequences.
As we were leaving Mark looked over and pointed out a cool looking pillow that would be very doable with 10 min of shoveling. We got to work and it all came together. These are some of the many pics we got of the day.
