[Haute Route and Lift Skiing in Region]

Hello:

 

I am planning on doing the Haute in April and will have an opportunity to ski near Chamonix or Zermatt while I am there.

 

Does anyone have recommendations for lift skiing, inexpensive lodging or other must see / do things in the area?

 

Thanks!

[A day with Fred]

Spent a night in a tent with Fred at about 80, climbing Ingall's Peak. Congrats to a great climber, you grumpy old man!

[Have you climbed with Fred Beckey?]

I assume it is too late to submit a story?

I climbed with Fred to retrace his 1st ascent of Ingals Peak in the summer of 01.

[AT Setup - Havoc vs. Pocket Rocket]

I did a lot of research and demo of AT gear last year, and what I purchased totally rocks!

Atomic TM:EX, dynafit comfort binding, Garmont Mega Ride Boot.

Totally light, lighter thatn my lightweight tele gear, fat, fast, awesome for climbing, sweet in pow and crud. I took these out for a test at the resort and it was like Alpine-lite. Skied all the normal drops, chutes, trees, pow, and even bumps. Great in the bc, light and durable. The skinning is superior to my tele, and the boots have a walking mode that is great.

I also tried K2 Shuksan, Rossi T3, and researched others. This was the standout. Snappy and a great shape. kd

[Ski the Haute Route in April]

Looks like there is interest. I have emailed a few offline and I am trying to get planning going. I am open to March if that will be better, less crowded... Send me your emails if you want to be on my distro. I'll continue to keep the posting aive here too.
