Does anyone know what those Dynastar skis are in the Aravis vid?

@Chamcham, they look like the Mythics from the last couple of years.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Chamcham, "that sort of exposure, eventually, you will die..."
Sadly, that's exactly what happened to one of our local pisteurs when he tried the same "couloir" a week or so later.

For many people the holy grail of ski touring is the Haute Route which takes you from Chamonix to Verbier taking 6 to 8 days staying in mountain refuges.
I have done an overnight in one of the refuges the Vignettes Hut in Switzerland when my knees were younger. Magnificent views and a great sense of achievement.
Nowadays I would need a helo.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@gvj, I'm sad to hear that.
@HammondR, Looks like a nice ski. Anyone here skied it?i
I remember the Mythic Rider of ten years ago,a great ski. It was the first "fat" ski I'd been on, at 89mm IIRC.

@Chamcham, I haven't skied them but one of my touring chums bought a pair last season for not a lot of money from Sport Conrad. 97mm underfoot with Tectons and he absolutely loved them.

@TQA, what's with the negative waves?! You can't be that old; I bet you are a spring chicken. My climbing partner is 73, and I am planning to take him on his first touring this winter.

@TQA, I have a booklet on that walk, but it says it ends in Zermatt and not Verbier. Maybe the ski tour is shorter?
