Till

ich frage Till, den ich immer unermüdlich auf Brettern antreffe:
"was machst Du im Sommer?"
"Skifaaren, was denn sonst?"
"wo?" frage ich
"Stelvio"

Morteratsch Gletscher

Skiing down Morteratsch Gletscher, Pontresina

André W..., a certified Mountain Guide and Skiistructor took Constant S... from Samedan, also an instructor and a great skier, and one good looking silver fox, and me to ski from Diavolezza down the Morteratsch Gletscher. being guided over a glacier in the middle of big white mountains is pure pleasure and for the three of us worth more than anything else. I would like to say thanks to my two companions for the good time and fun. it was a great ride.
merci beaucoup André, who is french speaking.
Constant S is one of the best older skiers. he skis the new technique, feet, legs and knees apart and no umsteigen, weight on both skis. few older people manage to switch to the new skistyle. most still ski legs closed and umsteigen, including older ski instructors. I wish I could master the new skitechnique like Constant S can, I can't, whenever in steep territory, i fall back to the old ski style.

From Flower Power To Whiteout To Flower Power

Zürich - Diavolezza - Zürich in one day








Skiing Diavolezza, St.Moritz, great weather, few people, hard core skibums

from Italy, Brescia, Milano and Bormio, Germans, Austrians from Kitzbühl, Brixten, Innsbruck, Vienna, Americans, English by the Busloads in Off Season, Japanese, Français de Marseille, Swiss from Laax, Davos, Corvatsch, Silvaplana, St.Moritz, Bern, Aargau, Neuchatel, many well off senior citiziens, and a poor one like iMe, the salesman for Flowerpower and snowwhite Love in Zürich. my wallet is thin, but my Love for whiteouts is thick. in my next life, when I'm rich, I'll buy me a mountain for Xmas, in the color of snowwhite. Bormio is only one hour drive to Diavolezza. The train ride from Zürich to Diavolezza and return takes a little bit looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonger. the upper 2/3rds of the mountain were good to ski off piste, along the lower parts it was easier to go back to the groomed skiruns. I saw about only 5 people skitouring Piz Palü, they had this huge mountain all for themselves. they deserve it.
Markus B and Patricia S skitoured Piz bingo bungo
now I'm tired ............goooooooooood night

Dance Ladies Dance

Samnaun
K2 Girls in Pink and blue Lange Boots, they are not Twins! They are excellent skiers. It was a great joy to watch them skiing, sometimes they skied free, sometimes in formation and synchronisation.
beautiful. great marketing Ladies for K2.

Sandwich Man

the humble man sandwiched by two great and young freeriders.

we all get no respect (like Rodney Dangerfield, except these two:



they ski real steep couloirs, like the Martinsmad Rinne, between Flims and Elm, and for a sweet dessert, they have to climb it all back up with the help of crampons.
all this in a beautiful symphony of grey and white: quand je n'ai plus de gris, je mets du blanc.
c'est pour Sain Martin à Paris :- )
they get all my respect and admiration, und ich habe freude, die beiden zu kennen.

Swine Flu

I don't have the swine flu, I wanted to grab your attention, it's a good tag,
but I'm infected by the snowwhite influenza and whiteout virus
I know my treatment:





I don't have to go to the doctor, I listen to the music by the Doobie Brothers and go skiing like a ski connaisseur in St. Moritz Corvatsch at the end of the snow season, few people, great ski condition, thick snow base layer, no green patches, with new powder on it, so much, that on this day the upper tram section was closed. it was a great day, I wish you were here, there.
