Haute Route - Verbier to Zermatt with a Heli Ski of Monte Rosa to Finish
Another attempt at the Haute Route this week with Angy, Andy and Nick Benitz. We met up in Verbier for a training day in perfect weather spending the first night in the Cabin de Mont Fort. The weather for the next few days was quite difficult, skiing on a compass bearing to the Prafleuri then Dix huts. The visibility was bad again the next day until we reached the summit of the Pigne d'Arolla where the cloud cleared to give us a fantastic descent to the refurbished Vignettes hut. The final day to Zermatt was in perfect weather skiing all the way to Zermatt. We had one day spare so we managed to book a last minute Heli drop on Mont Rosa finding every snow condition from perfect powder to desperate crust finishing with spring snow to the valley.
