So, Brian was invited on a trip for this coming April but can not make it, should the fossils (and friends) start planning for next March? We could go a little early and avoid all the crowds and trade slightly shorter days for more powder. Watch the enclosed five minute video of the classic traverse from Chamonix to Zermatt. Many believe this to be the best ski mountaineering traverse on the planet, and oh yes, there are multiple opportunities for alpine climbing along the 70 mile route.
