College buddies looking to revisit a winter spent in Saas Fe 45 years ago, talked me into it. They are going over to lift ski, while I am spending the week touring, uphilling, and doing an occasional off piste (safe) solo adventure. Can I skin up and over the pass to Cervinia, to meet my buddies for lunch, and then drag my 67 year old body up and over again to Zermatt.
Booking tickets today, and while I am quite fit, next week I will add a weekly double dose of Dawn Patrol skinning up Whiteface.
