DrRox:
This photo is taken from the front of the Hotel Bodenwald, looking up at the cheesehill, in the summertime.
The base of the Eiger/Monch is to the upper left.

Lol. The only one? I don't think they will spend the last NEL now, but who knows. ???
Alenaveda:
From the TAR FB page:
Remember when Margie & Luke led the pack in the grueling cheese wheel challenge in season 14? Get ready for a Switchback challenge this Sunday when the Racers must do the same... on a hillside deep in snow!
RaceUntilWeDie:
Is it me or does the hill look much steeper this time around.
Though last time their wooden things (Idk what they were :lol: ) to hold the cheese weren't really strong enough.. it looks as this time the sleds are much stronger and might make it a little easier.
theschnauzers:
IIRC, the wooden sleds last time were described in terms that suggested that they weren't in great shape, and could easily fall apart.
Since it is understood that the location is not identical (like a different hillside in the same neighborhood) the angle might be a little different; but the big difference is the presence of a pretty hefty snowpack on the hillsides, and in the whole area in fact.
I'm going to check Weather Underground and see if we have any information on how deep that snowpack was on the apparent day of filming.
Edit: The closest location I could find with weather information near the Eiger mountain was Grindelwald, Grindelwald, Kt. Bern. However, I can't find daily precipitation information at that location especially during the five days between the listed timeline dates for the prior and the subsequent days. The only Interlachen station I could find with information is next to a lake, and that doesn't help.
