Agreed. I think the proportionality of the requirements should be tested at some point, but I can't see who will push for that to happen.
I also think that all of the EU directive should be applied, not just one aspect of it.

I met Sylvain Saudan once.

Wow..in Scotland? Was he instructing there or speaking about his exploits? I know the Cairngorms can be challenging, especially in one of their trademark ice blizzards, but they must have seemed tame to Sylvain.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

No in the Haute-Savoie but he was talking about skiing. He was telling me about some 8000 meter mountain he'd skied down. Dalguri or somesuch.

Actually I met him briefly in Gulmarg last season too (he pretty much pioneered heliskiing there), escorting some French clients to the heli. Very interesting guy.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Does Gustav Fischnaller count ?

Chilles "fat cat" Chabert, part of the Republican group which won the recent elections of the massive Rhone-Alpes region - an area bigger than Austria - has been put in charge of the region's mountains. He doesn't envisage resigning from the ESF and sees no conflict of interest in his political appointment.
