Winter Returns

Just when I was getting all warm to the spring snow scene, blammo! in comes winter! Off the back of Mt.Gele yesterday I measured 65cm of fresh snow! The face shots were a bit too much. I tried to turn differently to avoid the shock, but to no avail. I’m sure you feel sorry for me.

It is real warm this morning, +3. But it looks like Mt.Fort will open so we should get another day of powdah!

About Hans Solmssen

I am a professional mountain guide living in Verbier, Switzerland. I grew up on the Big Island of Hawaii after my father moved to Hawaii to teach at Hawaii Preparatory Academy. He created a horse program at this high school, located in the middle of the largest, privately owned cattle ranch in the US. Horses were a major part of my life, even playing polo for a few years. I moved to northern Vermont to go to school, and discovered skiing. Little did I know, this would become my life's passion: guiding friends and clients over the mountains around the world on skis and foot. I moved to Verbier, Switzerland in 1982, and entered the Swiss guide's program in '88. I received my UIAGM "pin" 3 years later in 1991. I have two kids, Anya and Kevin.
