Verbier opened one month ago for skiing, but is now open for the powder skiing we know and love! With the additional 1.5 meters of snow that has fallen over the past few days, we can now enjoy winter as winter can be enjoyed. We have done some lovely ski tours these past 2 weeks at mid elevations close to the main alpine ridge (page 41). I don’t have many photos to share unfortunately. One shot from the top of the Monts Telliers Sunday with the iPhone shows the new front moving in over the 3 lakes above La Fouly.
Ski Touring Sessions
Are you dreaming of doing a ski tour but don’t dare to do it on your own? Not sure of where to go that will be quiet yet safe enough to have fun? Would you like to join people for a day’s ski touring? I will be gathering groups of like minded folks who would like to get out and safely ski tour in this fresh new snow. We will climb for approximately 3 hours to get to some fine skiing. On the way up, we will talk about route choices and snow stability. On the way down, I’ll offer a few pointers to help you enjoy every one of those well earned turns. The cost is approximately 100.00/person. The first tour will be Friday, December 7th. Please contact me for more details and other dates @ +41 79 446 2289 or hans at verbier dot ch.
Hi Harry. I offer avalanche courses throughout the winter. Some of these days are prearranged with 5-6 people, and other days are arranged privately. Let me know when you are in town and we can arrange a day together or with one of my groups.

hey there, where could i find more information on avalanche courses that are run in Verbier? i ask as the recent events in the past week has shocked me as to how little i know about them and how to deal with one should the situation arise. Any further information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
Harry
