St. Moritz is the longest-standing alpine run in this business and the one where the published drive time is most obviously an opening bid. In July it is close to accurate. In February the number that matters is not the distance but whether the Julier is open.
The Engadin is reached over a high pass, and a high pass is binary. That is the whole planning problem, and the reason a February transfer to St. Moritz is confirmed twice — once when it is booked, and once the evening before against the forecast and the pass status.
