I've been afflicted with gastro since last Wednesday. No fun at all.

fkna! i'm just finishing a week of wonderous gastro. damn it sucks, and never had it this long with cramps this bad from it. bugger.
conditions are still good. some friends did enfetchote yesterday - it's a pretty quick tour off the top of the first drag lift, they said the final descent was waist deep in places, and great snow.
i think it'll be busy at the weekend with it being first the derby and then easter. i'm hopefully doing some touring tomorrow, and then i have a friend coming to stay so it'll just be very chilled stuff for me after that.
well i wasn't sick today but i think keksie lost his head. can you find it?

Skied Paradiski yesterday (Wednesday). 20-30cm above 2500m depending on aspect.
Coverage on north facing slopes good down to 1800meters, 2000meters for other aspects.
Stay at altitude and this weekend conditions should be great.
anybody interested in a MT Blanc Unlimited pass good for 3 more days? pm me or ask for the gimp at the Belveder in Argentiere
Thursday, April 5th: just back from hiking to & above le col du Gd-St-Bernard.
What i found out:
- Plenty of snow 4 touring. Good coverage starts ~ Super St. Bernard/Tunnel.
- Super St. Bernard closes on Monday end-of-biz.
I was wrong. Yesterday was still a very good day in alagna (thanks to new snow the day before). look how the malfatta was...

Finally did the Aiguille d'Argentiere yesterday. Absolutely fantastic day on the hill - one to remember for a long time.

i'm sitting at breakfast at the chalets de la meije easing myself into another day at la grave. a bit schrapled after the derby but great spring conditions. did a day at la grave and a day at serre chevalier so far. trying to decide on today.

Serfaus. See Hayduke TR:

Tracks look a bit exposed, but very impressive regardless. Despite the dearth of snow, I am very impressed by the quantity and quality of shots from this season ...
Serfaus was surprisingly good. On top of that chute I had a bit of an akward position to strap on and I managed to dislocate my arm from elbow by twisting it while tightening my bindings a bit tighter than usual :rolleyes: I pulled it back to it´s place and hit the chute. I actually felt quite hardcore for a short moment. Old injury, but has never popped out like that.
Well, anyways, I have to give klar respect on telemarking her way down after I took most of the snow down with me.
Here´s klar hitting the first one of the day

yay! about time you registered! :)
hope the arm is ok..
nice work!
Another Alpy stash looking goooooodd..... gmorning euros!
The arm is reasonably good already, although it was quite stiff and powerless yesterday. I went skiing for a few laps, I could hold a pole in my hand, but couldn´t polemark. Today it´s been ok, goes almost straight again. I´ll take the snowboard out tomorrow and go search for soft snow, there should be a stash at kuhtai, where the sun doesn´t shine.
The part I enjoyed at serfaus, was going up with the lift after the steeper line and seeing the fat rich german tourists waving poles towards our lines and wondering who rode them :D
Just returned from Verbier - after a foot of freshies on Wednesday it did NOT suck to say the least.
10C and mega slushy up to 2500m. Still found some nice pow on a north facing couloir in the plan du fou sector (g. allou) :yourock: .
