Well, spring is already here, so everybody who’s in need of snow has to go up a little higher. This time, we were en route to another destination but decided to take a short backcountry ski trip to Mt. Sommet des Diablerets, 3’209m / 10508ft. It’s a comparatively short trip due to the help of several cablecars, so it’s ideal for an on-the-fly trip. This photo shows Tête de Barme, seen from a smaller “rock balcony”. Sommet des Diablerets is hidden behind this peak.
I know of really nice people who have been there before us, and I’ll bet we see some incredibly wonderful images of this photographer soon here… In the meantime, take potluck with mine 😉

Spring is here as you said.
We have climbed last weekend few short couloirs on 2.200m in Kamnik alps, but the snow was very soft on descent. I will share some photos this weekend. Regards.

24 Mar 2012As you have mentioned in a reply, I am grateful that the "Blue and White" journey continues, is my favorite theme on your photo blog, so I am happy that most of your posts get into this pattern. I&39;ve noticed too, also in your last post, that using the man included in the landscape gives a special perspective. From the mountaineer point of view also, it is as the warning we know so well, we have to respect the mountain, being so "small",fragile and vulnerable up there.
