Takeoff description

TO's are on top of the 'Weisshorn' (>> see pictures). In Summer the only direction available is SW, in Winter it's also possible to TO towards NE. In Winter TO is performed on the (groomed) ski slopes. Theoretically this is not allowed in Switzerland. On the Weisshorn it's tolerated, as long as one leaves enough space for the skiers/ snowboardes to pass... TO to the NNW: VERY short, there is NO space for an aborted TO!!! (see picture).
