2008 Shudders, concentration and magic of skiing high mountain

Nothing better than beginning the day with a delight breakfast. Given that the day will last for a long time and be full of emotions, it is better to have a filled stomach because we never know when will be the next break!

When we arrive at the airport of Sion, the pilot of the helicopter is waiting for us and we start a flight of more than 20 minutes over the Alps.

Drop off in the heart of the mountains, we have the feeling to be unique in the world. No noise, no track, just the sun which drills the ambient humidity.

After a few turns of happiness in the powder, it is time to fix the skins under our skies and to walk the way up by foot. The walking looks more like a racing breaststroke in the deep snow, but the beauty of the surrounding landscapes makes us to forget the effort.

A few ice screws and two abseiling later, we are standing in the north face ready to ski the steep descent in the middle of the glacier.

Our guide is concentrated and searches his way around the crevasses to lead us to new powder slopes.

This is how we reach the ski resort of Zinal after more than hundred curves. Our driver is waiting for us with tea and biscuits and start listening to us going into raptures over the beauty of this mythical descent of the Alps.
