    Hi, I am just up for a minute.Thank you very much ! I will post them shortly.
    If anyone has any picture wishes or questions, feel free to ask.

    These is my climbing wall and house in the backround.The tree is a Gingko.
    The helmet is a downhill Scotch helmet made for downhill biking, but works well for skiing and cost 279 euros or so new, but I got him for 100 or so.I had him with me in Valley Blanche but took him off, stored in my backpack he pulled me backwards and was burdensome on the way back up to the heli pickup site.If you wear him, very warm even at Mt. Blanc height and protecting.But even such a helmet can´t save you from a crevasse fall - up to 200 m to accelerate smash anything.
    The glasses are the best Oakleys I think available - a Wisdom Black Iridium with the silver bottom line - the black gathers heat and the silver may reflect some warmth or some rescue beacon signal - it does not mirror any picture maybe some coloration or so.The come with helmet strap which is a little longer, but the other strap works with helmet, too.
    I got them from a guy at powdermag, downhilldave for 40 $, but new price is 200 $ or so.The let 8 % of light through and filter all UV out.
    The other pair is the nicest Oakley namely an A-frame with polarisation filter.
    store price 250 Euros, but I got them for 179 $.
    This one should filter out UV naturally reduce total light to ca. 8 % also and
    eliminate all polarized light.This light comes about when light does not issue form one body ( the sun ) of illumination but n ( the reflecting moguls etc., the clouds or fog that is reflecting light any direction.This light takes any sense of depth of field out of your view.The problem with that is that you are literally skiing in a white mass without beiing able to tell any piste structures.You can only react with reflexes some sort of foot brain feedback to the profile of the piste it is invisible - not with these glasses, however.
    All are triple glass and never had any condensation.Maybe I will buy a second lense for one that is less light absorbing.
    I also considered the Smith with ventilator.They also seem great.But I had not much pow.With pow and loads of snow all over the glasses the vent may make more of a difference.The other models I checked I also liked like TNF or Spy.Many good ones out there.

    More pics and text tomorrow.

    Good night and thanks for reading !

    You see some small glasses I had on the glacier in 2004.Also some cool Fleece sox I bought all 6 pair for 10 $ new - someone sells them on ebay for that price what a deal if you pay 20 - 30 $ for a pair of fleece socks sometimes.
    The gloves are the top model I think of The North Face.Maybe they got some Expedition mittens available on request.These were 109 Euros.The are called Himalayan Mittens and I only got them in medium I would have rather bought them in Xtra large but they sell out very fast.I could hold ski sticks well with them and had enough control.I took them of on top of a black run called B1 or so at Le Brevent for a moment and my hands started shaking by 10 cm or more immediately but with the gloves on I was warm like in a bathtub.I held them in the freezer but could not feel any effects even if I touched ice.But sure there is some cold in the mountains that will freeze hands even inside if these gloves.On Mustagh Ata at 7600 m a man took of his gloves and within 120 seconds his hands had turned to icelumps.Windchill
    reduces warmth by ca 2/5 of a degree pre kmh I read and altitude takes ca 10 ° of per 1000 m.A man I hiked around Mt. Everest Namche Bazaar region with who was one of the best climbers of the Jap./Kor. Winter Expedition in in I think 1991 is now on some flank of the K2 stiff as ice, maybe others of that group are also dead and still stay on top of the eternal ice.Seyonara and Namaste, my friend, who hiked so fast he would trump most everybody on the Everest.What I am saying even with these supergloves you ain´t save in the wilds.You are merely improving your chances.

    above:
    various pictures from Highlands and Mt. Blanc.
    All those areas are dangerous and lethal wilderness areas in which people can easily die ( and many died there ) if they do not follow mountaineering and other guidelines, even if they seem harmless.That is why I will post some info on them in case some of you folks pass by there and feel tempted to try.
    I will explain a little later now try to get some sleep.

    See you !

    Does the Valley Blanche stuff look scary ?
    Why be scared ? The day I skied NOBODY died there just the day before !
    Sure, some cripples for life !
    I mean, when it is snowing, it might be a little tougher.
    When I upload the video you can hear the sound of the wind up there - you sure won´t hear nothing else - but the voice of your Father if you cross beyond that fence !

    Some more "smack" ...
    I was staying one month in Namche Bazaar ... all thr time you heard the soudn of an 747 engine ... wind going through an airliner turbine is fast and makes a hiss ... a humm.In Namche it humms always ... the jet stream crushes against the peak of the world.I measured it at the window by counting the snowflag behind the peak ... it was absolutely sure 300 kmh.
    At 50 you lean your arm out of your car you feel the air resistance - it is tiresome.Air resistance rises to the cubicle of the speed about to to aerodynamic reasons - that would give you 300 / 50 = 6 to the power of 3 - 36 X 6 = 216 so it is about 216 times the force you would need to stand on a car going 50 kmh ! Sure thing why people disappear climbing ... they get blown of the rock or may even be lifted off like a parachuter jumping out of a plane.At Mt. Blanc last year after I was there there was a storm with consistent 140 kmh on top.I am pointing out that Mt. Blanc and so on are small compared to Everest but deadly indeed ! If you feel scared, pull out , it is not a shopping mall where everything is save !

    You may want to put some of those math skills to work over at physicsforums
    People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.
