Those pictures of the avalanche make me feel so small. Very sad.


Another one of Central Switzerland (no hiking required :wink:)

Some Galti action. Conditions are still good all the way down. I'm pretty sure I've done it more times in the last few weeks than in the last five years.
Should have cleaned the lens this morning...

I'm looking for a spyder race suit for my 8 yo son. I'm not sure about the size (he is 53 inches and 62 pounds) Looking at the spyder sizing chart it seems like he is in between sizes.
I'm also...

And knee to waist deep at higher elevation in the afternoon. Welcome back winter! :smile:

Recommendation: don't buy an abs cartridge at Sporthaus Unterlecher, aka Sport 2000 in Fügen. They tried to rip me off the other day when I stopped by to buy one on my way out of the valley. Over the...

Nice one, IridePow!
This looks so tasty...

I'm looking for recommendations on Zillertal. I'll be there a couple of days. Hochfügen/kaltenbach a good option? Can anyone recommend a guide in the area? Thanks!

Bump to first page for awesomeness.

Snorkel time... nice!

Hey, Down skis, no love for lighter skiers? :wink:

Bruce, it was so much fun skiing with you, Rusty and Brian! I am sorry I couldn't join you in the afternoon; Patxi said the snow was great on the Wasserfall that day. Glad you had a good Eurotrip and...

Coming down hard in Obwalden at the moment...:)

He died. Apparently he was buried for 45 minutes or maybe more. He was skiing on piste with a ski instructor when they got caught. The instructor was only partially buried. The district attorney (or...

That's so sad, Ripz. Vibes to family and friends. RIP

That was great... beautiful pictures!

That looks nice! But no pond hockey there?

Qué bonito!

So, what's the plan for next year? Are girls allowed this time :wink:?

Very nice!

The Steinberg is still good.
Hopefully it stays cold. You may even find good snow if you don't mind hiking a bit

Snowing at the moment in Engelberg... and sticking a little above 1000m. Temperatures have dropped about 20 degrees since yesterday.
Who said the season was over on April 10th? You were wrong...

Does anyone know how conditions are in La Grave at the moment? Any snow on the forecast?

Very nice



How old is the little guy?

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing. I really like M13 and M4



That's the Sierra de Guadarrama, which is part of the Sistema Central. The highest peak of this sierra is Peñalara (2,400m)

On one of the gondola rides in the afternoon, the clouds lifted off of the Sella Gruppo and we spotted the Val Setus, the goal for the following day.

On our way to the Dolomiti we decided to spend the night in Verona.

After too many weeks of Spring-like conditions in Switzerland, we took a road trip last week to find some powder-type snow. We ended up driving 1700 km through Switzerland, Italy and Austria...
