 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've booked a ticket to Zurich for a week in February to warm up for an April base camp trip in BC.
My initial idea is to go to Andermatt and, depending on conditions, either ski around the resort with some sidecountry touring or take the haute route to Engelberg. Anyone else keen?

@peanuthead, thanks, even more options! If anyone else wants to join in my gamble that there will be snow in the eastern alps, we can decide where to go last minute based on conditions.
@Downhill Sailor, I'm thinking along the same lines. This February trip will be a gauge of how much more ready I need to be for April.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Andermatt and Engelberg should give plenty of off piste skiing without traveling to St Anton which I suspect will be quite busy in Feb.
Would you be keen to hire a guide for a few days?

@Downhill Sailor, Yes, why not. I generally try to get a good idea of the layout using Google Earth and go off that, but I'm certainly keen on guiding if there's a few people and it's cost effective. I'm not sure if lots of people from other countries will be on holidays then and how easy it would be to find another group to join forces.

Is the Haute Route doable usually in Feb?

Change of plans for me too: going to Sion area with my father who has dodgy knees. Anyone in the area and keen to ski all the (apparently) incoming snow in the 4 valleys?
