I would agree if those beginners would have been on this slope but as you can see I had it pretty much to myself.

Regular parallel turns, keeping the weight on the downhill ski. And sharp edges help when it becomes icy.

Thank you Nico. I used the GoPro Quick app, the speed gauge is in the "stickers" section.

The best time is on a non-holiday weekday when there is enough snow (last minute). In general it's not too crowdy in December until Christmas, from 10 January until the February holidays and in March after the holidays.

@@Weerchris I see, because of its low altitude, natural snow is a rarity. But heard often that they have one of the best snowmaking capabilities in Germany. So even after weeks of +7°C you can still ski there.

That's correct, the lifts and snow making capacity is outstanding. But the number of open runs tends to decrease after 10-15 days of thaw and rain and that makes it extra busy on the remaining runs. It's really a lot more fun when there is ample snow. @@m.hoffman2889 When it's busy you can take the free shuttle to Neuastenberg or Altastenberg (just ten minutes) which are included on the same pass. In these smaller resorts the lines are always much shorter. Another tip is to visit the nearby resort of Willingen, they have an 8 seater chairlift and a gondola serving the same mountain (Ettelsberg) so much shorter lines.

You are right Frank, plus the lifts on the Ettelsberg have great speed and capacity. I hope they will invest in a new lift on the Sonnenhang one day.

Hi Martins, yes, GoPro Hero 10 black, see description

There currently is enough snow due to artificial snowmaking in the previous weeks. A period of thaw has set in since Friday so it could be different the coming days / weeks.

@@Weerchris different as in more or less snow?

@@Vipe_.9Cheats a lot less. The nearby resort of Winterberg created up to 70cm of snow on the slopes so they will be able to remain open for at least two more weeks.

@@Weerchris okay thanks for the information
