If you're asking, the answer is almost always rent. Unless you score that early morning or late night transfer through Salzberg, just bring your boots (or not) and rent everything in St. A. Imo, make...

Update your IG signature. Awesome. Will be paying attention to youtube channel. Lykke til.

Rossy, bless.

Fantastic. Drink some water, eat and get some sleep.

Fantastic. Thanks.

Fantastice photos. Glad you had a good trip. The tumblr link is worth the click-through.
What's the name of the couloir in the second photo? The black and white looking vertical/portrait...

You have two weeks to study. Once you narrow it down to a few places start reading the avalanche reports—historical and going forward. Won’t take more than a few days to get a sense of the winter in...

Supposed to be awesome. Seems like a good option as you could tailor it on the shorter side if you wanted to ride lifts after a few days.

Checked this out on Google Maps and looks like a great day. You go under (to the southeast) of Le Métailler?

It is the gold standard.

Does anyone have a selection tool to show trees? I've just been using Aerial Image under Background in the bottom right.

SP, what is normal Salzburg to Munich drive in the winter? How is the border?

Thanks, everyone, for the photos and updates. Keep them coming. Mini TRs too, please.

Warranty that jacket, mate. Should never have ripped like that.
Glad you’re alive. Good Lord.

Any updates from the Alps?

Beautiful. Where?

I just wrote a long explanation, but, in an attempt to keep the jongs away, I've deleted it.
In fairness to the folks who make their living in the ski industry I will say, IME, off-piste skiing is...

No.

Can only speak to the Sella. Never been to the Brenta but it's supposed to be awesome and a bit livelier at night.

Peds, I might ratchet down the certainty about skiing very steep, very exposed lines, very, very slowly so soon. Give yourself time to heal.

I also had a surgeon tell me, after looking at the scans, that surgery wasn’t necessary, but long, slow rehab was.
Peds, I might ratchet down the certainty about charging so soon. As Willie Nelson’s...

That’s a great photo for your guidebook.

Looks like you had a good day in the Val Mesdi? We've had good experience with our daughter in the Sci Asilo...

Yikes! Sorry to hear.
Yes, the Dolomites abide by the rules. Same in Germany? Munich was smoke free indoors last Thursday but folks were smoking on the sidewalks.

Is that still happening? Italy has gotten much better.

How’s the culture / vibe in EK? I’ve heard the architecture is 60s and 70s instant village gross? Lots of drunk Brits?
Actually, how would you compare the towns of Verbier and Val d’Isère?

This is a pretty solid rec. for Verbier. Although you could list dozens of resorts that do miraculous work with snow making.
No matter where you go, if you like skiing alone, make sure you schedule...

I think you know enough to answer for yourself. The beauty of Val d'Isère, obviously, is the altitude and the snow security that brings. But given recent weather uncertainty, I wonder if it isn't...

Yes. A better skier might have hucked it. Soft snow through out.
I think the problem with jumping isn’t the drop; it’s the narrowness of the couloir not allowing for much left or right to check...

Finally stopped snowing in Alta Badia. Skied the Holzer yesterday. Near whiteout conditions but great visibility in the couloir. Impressive array of terrain around the Sella massif and especially off...

Föhn or just heat, non-wind related? Sorry for your loss.

Or, let your partner run it out. "You got this, bud!"

I hate downclimbing, even on belay. Off rope = no thank you.

Ha! I would have chosen to rap instead of downclimbing in quite a few of those situations.

Did you have more or less snow than Jornet and Bruchez had? Well done, btw.

Ok, safe to say you were as prepared for this as is reasonable. The 10m of cord for rap anchors confirms that. Sounds like you really did just get hosed by the exit snow cone ripping out overnight....

Wow. I'm glad I read your second paragraph. I wasn't sure how to respond to the first.
Sorry if these questions are tedious, but I ski solo a lot and am always interested in what people carry for...

My monitor at work is garbage so excuse the low-rez question. What are you anchored into? Looks like a bush.

1. Could you have hiked up and out of the couloir?
2. How did you contact the rescue team?
3. Did they fly you out in the helicopter or were you suspended on a sled a la world cup racers?
Crazy...

Nice. Where is this?

I'm in the market for a short ski rope for similar conditions. Petzl sells a static rope which is 6mm and very light. Just makes me nervous bringing a static cord into the mountains even though...

Dynamic or static? How many mm?

Fantastic video. Good day out. Well done. What rope are you carrying?

+1
A little common sense keeps management happy and the resorts open for jogging on non-powder days.
