We were trying to moonwalk on skis this week - it’s a lot harder on an alpine set-up. Didn’t think about the touring option.

@swskier, I'm past Day 7 and the rules in France say I no longer have to isolate.
Plus it was just me up there, that said I will not mix with people, go shopping until I test negative which hopefully I'll be shortly when I test myself for today.

@BobinCH,
@Weathercam, strange rule set up isn't it, that you can leave despite being positive! Like you say, you'll struggle to pass it on to anyone when there's only you and the dog about!

Point of order! @Weathercam, your last post is misplaced!
This thread is "Ski Touring for Wallies" as @BobinCH, has alluded too the duffers can't keep up with you.
An uphill average of 627m/HR...... Wallies no, pro probably. Bye the way well done!

Well today this Wally had an extremely warm skin/ski tour from Gsteig (next village to Gstaad) up on to the Walliser Wispile. Bitter cold at the carpark this morning, melting hot completing a ski down this afternoon.
North facing in super shape with good powder and very few tracks. The Wispile ridge can be skied north easterly down to the small village of Launen.
All day we saw a Swiss group of 5, we were 3 and a solo female, consequently very few tracks.
Will not report on ascent rates......but not 627/HR.....it was simply a lovely day!

Often wondered if this was one of your areas @BobinCH, it's so accessible from the lake Geneva side.
Pic Chaussy is a real classic, the ridge heading on above Gsteig and towards Gstaad has numerous day tours. Glad you found good conditions.

My description was written in haste.
From Pic Chaussy the ridge runs on above Les diablerets, col du Pillion (glacier 3000) and then on to Gsteig.
Possibly a nice one for you to consider@BobinCH, park the car at col du Pillion skin up into the now abandoned ski area, Isenau then ascend La Palette. The ski down is very similar orientation to Chaussy. Across Arnensee and out to village of Feutersoey. Post bus returns you to co du Pillion.

Been up there in Spring. How high is La Palette?

Pic Chaussy is also an abandoned ski area, you may have seen the remains of the gondola that went from Lac Lioson up, think it was only finally properly dismantled 10 years ago....we take the dogs to an alpage there most summers for a weeks herding, its an amazing spot..

@BobinCH, La Palette is 2170m col du Pillion is 1546. Gives an ascent of 624m
Invite Weathercam, quick 1 hour sprint

Not sure he’d be able to keep up with my girls and the view from behind might get him overexcited!

@Weathercam, see the video above for my first outing trying to dodge the pooch! Perhaps you should give me some feedback before I expose myself to the wrath of SnowHeads
