I have not posted in a while but I have a great excuse this time. I have just completed the Haute Route, and am currently sitting in Zermatt after spending the past 9 days skiing and ski touring, 7 of which were on the Haute Route… I have about 200 pictures so far, and the trip was awesome… there are still 4 more ski touring days left as we are going to poke and tour or way back to Chamonix but not before a day or 2 of touring around Zermatt.

my big adventure for the trip was that I broke both of my skis on day 3, pulled both toe pieces out of both skis… we jimmy rigged them to get me down and thankfully that day we went through Verbier which allowed me to get new skis… course that was a bunch of money I should not have had to spend.. but had it happened any other day it would have been a helicopter out or a LONG walk to the valley if it was safe and not a crevasse ridden ice field… either way it worked out… I will post a longer story with lots of pics in the near future.. first I need to get back to Canada and then figure out where I can put 1.5 to 2 GB of pictures!

So Hi from Switzerland and we’ll be home soon!
