Castor, Zermatt
Apr 21st 2019

Castor on Skis

The forecast was looking quite poor for the coming week, so we spent our weather window on the ski up/down Castor from the Ayas Hut. After trimming his skins to size(!), Will and I opted to make a depot lower down for speed, while the others lugged their kit to the top to enjoy the drop-in from the summit ridge. A windy day with a hard snowpack which made the skiing quite unpleasant, followed by crevasse rescue practice and ash-tray grappa for dessert!

Breithorn, Zermatt
Apr 20th 2019

Breithorn

Is this the easiest 4000m peak in the Alps? Despite several trips to Zermatt I'd never made the short plod from the lift station across to the summit, so it was a good choice for our day 1 tour warmup. After a short ski down we traversed around to the Ayas Hut in Italy for the night.

Strichkogel, Dachstein Mountains
Feb 17th 2019

Strichkogel

1200m of ascent to the summit of Strichkogel, then 500m of steep couloir descent to follow. Final day out with Will Bourne to cap off the best 3 days of touring I’ve had so far in Austria. Good practice for Zermatt in April, and especially good shake down of Will's traversing and steep skinning techniques. Let's hope the Spaghetti tour is all up and down (spoiler: it wasn't...)

Rauschberg, Chiemgau Alps
Feb 16th 2019

Rossgasse Tour

A very hot day for touring, and a trip to the summit of Rauschberg for Will & I via the long forest path. Some good traversing practice for the splitboarder saw us to the top of the Roßgasse for a short powder descent on the 35° slope back to the car. A popular tour with the locals it seems!

Hoher Dachstein, Austria
Feb 15th 2019

Dachstein Kletterski

The Austrian Alps are in amazing spring condition right now, perfectly timed for Will Bourne's visit to Salzburg. We caught the first lift up to the glacier and then took the longer klettersteig from the base of the rock ridge to the summit of Hoher Dachstein. The wind loading on the skis, plus lack of cable under some exposed buried sections added a bit of spice, but overall it was a very awesome ski-klettersteig combo.

Osterhorngruppe, Salzburg
Jan 7th 2018

Wieserhörndl

After a full day out at Kaprun on the Saturday we fancied a shorter tour, so drove over to the Osterhorngruppe for a gentle skin up to Spielberg and Wieserhörndl. An excellent, safe pair of objectives for a short day out.
