Sommet des Diablarets

Did a ski tour to the summit of Diablarets last weekend. Skinned up to the summit through the fog and all.

Here's me, Carlos and Shane at the cross at the top of the summit in the fog....

Shane, Carlos and me



We actually are standing on snow here on the peak of a mountain....but it looks like we're just floating. Had to take the skis off to get to the peak because it was small and had a large drop off.

It actually was fairly clear when we skinned up...


Here's a view on the summit of Diablarets

Zermatt

I was able to open up the ski season at Zermatt last weekend.



Admiring the Matterhorn...

This is on the chair lift. Luckily there was a wind shield on the chair...
