Incredible photos, Madturtle. I'm super jealous of your trip. I'm also jealous that your missus is also a bc ripper. That's going to have be a project for me next year.

Great TR. I need to get to cham quickly.

Hey, nice TR!

You wouldn't know what that mountain in the middle of the backgrond is? That sure looks like a tasty couloir..

If not, just tell me what time of day the picture was taken and i guess i can figure it out from maps. Thanks.

Keeping the Alps stoke alive!

Powder (skiing) and limestone (cragging): that's a good combination!

BTW, it looks like you skied the Combe de la Noire or the Combe de la Vierge when you skinned up towards Italy.

Jumpturn - could be, but I thought they were further skiers left...and thanks for the beta from one of your other posts. The canadian brewery was great.

FFsup - Pic was 4/14 around 10 a.m. I believe. Can't remember the name of the peak but supposedly the couloir is unskied or at least undocumented. Go get it!

Phillippe, what can I say, I'm a product of the american educational system that does not stress foriegn languages. And even my english spelling sucks, it ain't my fault ;-).

Verbier, fixed it thanks. Yeah Steven Hadik you know him? I thought the RTs were great for the HR. We got way more skiing than I expected and havign some bigger skis was definately worth it.

Idiris, sorry I never caught up w/ you in Cham. glad your HR went pretty well though.

yeah stephan H rocks and you've been lucky 'cuz he clearly brought you to some very intersting variants of the classic route

[neck beard]

+1 for the MB shot from Brevant. Perfect impression of that spot.

And all round great pictures, really good to scroll through them.

But this is what its all about. Fuck yeah. I try and cook this at home every other week and for a giant hash brown, its hard to do right.

remember getting one of them in the Vignettes hut, after a long wet skin in sleet, which had 18 fried eggs on it

mmmmm

[bullhorn]

Can't believe i missed this TR the first time around. Both the eggs and the views are tasty.

[mmcpheet]

Looks like an incredible trip!
