Austria. Thin when we were there in January — but still beautiful and fun backcountry skiing. Click images to enlarge.
Clue.
Lisa tops out.
Wriggle it out!
Long drive, but France!
Famous peaks for both ski mountaineering and alpinism, anyone guess?
Ah! Excellent French ski touring fuel.
Result.
Trip to the Austrian pro hardware store with the Fritz.
The list was long and complicated, tiny parts for a binding prototype.
Lunch, solo day Zillertal.
Powder in the low Alps.
Citroën says French.
This says Austria, and the hunger from ski touring.

Good memories!
Lou! First rule of Fight Club!
Don’t talk about fight club!
To everyone reading: I regret to inform all of you that the places depicted in these photos have sadly been bulldozed to make way for an IKEA.
End of the public service announcement.
Prototype binding? I’ll be waiting for more stories on that for sure. Great photos, by the way.
