Ski Zinal

31st March 2007

Zinal, Switzerland

It’s been another great spring day again and we’ve been skiing in Zinal and Grimentz. The snow at the top is excellent so I took the chance to ski another one of the couloirs off the top of the Sorebois, this is probably a little narrower and steeper than the one I’d done before but still utterly sensational.

I’ve also been carrying a Garmin eTrex Vista Cx GPS unit all day which has been creating tracks of where I’ve been.I’ve been playing around a little with the software and there’s some interesting things you can do. I’ve uploaded a track file of today, it’s a bit raw and I may update it later. This track file can be loaded into Google Earth using the file type “gpx”.

The final photograph is actually on Grimentz from near the top of the Lona, providing you avoid the odd rock there’s still some great skiing to be had.
