Swiss
keeping quiet
If you've been poring over the photo shoots in this year's ski magazine,
you will have noticed Jon Olssen and Henrik Windstedt flying through
fresh powder, not in Chamonix, La Grave or Mammoth, but in the Swiss
resort of Engleberg.
Chances are you've never heard of it...cool, let's keep it quiet!
Engleberg is one of the few remaining secrets in the Alps.

riding, no queues
The ski terrain of Engleberg had been compared to Chamonix twenty
five years ago. No crowds, few queues and a 2038m vertical descent
from a top point of 3028m. Whatever the conditions, theres always
a wide choice of off-piste routes, including some incredible glacier
skiing.
The Natives team will be checking out Engelberg first-hand in February
and we'll be posting our report here, but if you're keen, there's
no need to wait (just don't cut our lines!)
