Thanks Lou,. I was introduced to raclette in the Valais on a Haute-Route trip in 1983. Many thanks for bringing up those memories. Now off to ski some eastern-mank, here in New England. I think I am still burning off those calories! This has been one of the best vicarious trips I’ve ever taken. Thanks Lou,.

It's cool. There was a lone proud and brave telemarker up there that day, but we were on our AT gear as usual. Mark, there is some sort of “right of passage” for the farmland, from historical use.

I appreciate the apparent openess of the country. By that I mean it appears that their doesn't appear to be private/public access conflict that often occurs here in the states. I don't know much about european land access but I'm guessing that much of the "farm land" you're skiing on is public and leased by the farmers. Or is the land actually privately held and it is just accepted that people will cross on to it to access the goods? Another question is that a pair of tele skis I see in the one of the pictures. Your not converting are you? Great trip log Lou. I appreciate the apparent openess of the country.
