: safer, but also would like to have another friendly person
: with us. We are both experienced climbers and
: backcountry skiers, I'm 40, my friend is 50-ish, both males. Drop us a line...
Been looking to do this for sometime now and would be free. I'm just about to finish 2.5 year stint with the UN in Kosovo and looking to blow the cobwebs away. I'm late 30's, can handle ropes and mountaineering gear, but i'd be new to ski-touring. That said i plan to be in Chamonix to buy gear and practice ahead of the trip. Let me know your thoughts.
