Prime Numbers Fight Back

Prime Numbers get a raw deal. But these ugly and easy forgotten numbers are making a fight back on the ski slopes of Laax. Generous and easy ski runs (which are the easiest) have prime numbers.

Ski run 29 is from the foot of the glacier ("Vorab") at 9,000 feet to Fuorcla. A run of over 2 miles kms, and a vertical distance of 1,750 feet, with the usual marvellous views of the mountains.

Run 31 starts from the same point and runs in the opposite direction, 3 miles long. and gently winds itself down to Scansinas at 6,200 feet.

Run 53 is a wonderful run down to the valley at Falera, provided, of course, that it is open (being lower down, the quality of the snow is highly variable).

You must look out now for ski runs with Prime Numbers. Prime Number ski runs will not be forgotten. Please report great prime number ski runs on the comments to this blog.
