TR: Europe Round 2

[cj001f]

Most of the interesting stuff is in my Silvretta TR, but here's a few more pictures (and some words) because skiing is fun.

I returned to Europe with high hopes of good snow, powder, steep mountains and good beer and a swath of snow slayage from Geneva to Innsbruck. Unfortunately the first morning I was there I tweaked my knee skiing the Grand Montets with powder , so I was out for most of a week. I suppose there's worse places to be than Chamonix with a bum knee, but I can't think of them.

Montenvers and the Mer de Glace:


Moon over the Aiguille du Midi:


Since I wasn't feeling Chamonix competent with my knee, I didn't have a jug of wine, and I didn't feel like dragging all of my crap across Europe, I beat an early retreat to Innsbruck. When your knee will only work union hours, might as well shoot pictures of people in the park (my first time):



Not only did my knee crap out during the tree - so did winter. Spring, and by the end summer, were in force in the Alps. Flowers in the Pitztal:


By the end my knee had gotten in decent enough shape to follow various people around:


and to find a few places that I'd like to get to next time - like BecherHaus, on the promontory:

Really like this pic.

Hope your knee gets better.

It definitely sucks to have an injury in Chamonix when there is perfect weather and good coverage!

Nice photos! Keep 'em coming!
