The Val D'Anniviers looks like the place to be in Valais at the moment. Bandit, have you ever skied from Bella Tola to Unterems in the Turtmanntal?

No, have you? It would be a dream trip, but I think a Guide would be essential. I was up on Bella Tola on Friday, and saw no tracks heading over, so I guess cover is limited on the route down right now.

I last did it about 15 years ago, in early March. There is too little snow to do it at the moment.
It's a 1675m decent, graded F, with a short section (100m) at 30° and takes about 2hrs. I really enjoyed it. Here are some photos to get you stoked:

Lovely photos SwingBeep, though I don't think I'd enjoy the rock gardening much :lol:

Nothing like a bit of combat skiing to round off a perfect day. :wink:
