WHAT/WHERE is the top chocolate box resort.

My criteria as described are good amenities, fairly social environment (not over the top brits abroad/major parties all night). A bit like Morzine - but in Switzerland. Where is that place? Is there such a place?

cheers

Take a look at Saas-Fee. It would seem to tick most of your boxes, and the scenery is amazing.

So the real question is Snow and Rock, Ellis Brigham or Profeet?

Please help getting worried I am not going to make the right decision.

I would say of the options you present Profeet is the most likely to do a reasonable job. I have had a fitting there, and I was unhappy and will not return, but many other folks have been satisfied with their work.
I do see one problem for you. If you need further work on the boots, it's simply not practical for you to travel over.

Profeet IIRC work only from appointments, can you get an appointment at short notice?

using huts and bivvies does tend to break down a lot of those taboos, besides anyone leading mixed gender groups can hardly ignore certain practical issues.

Yes I suppose it does get rather basic.....

This is turning out to be a AAA thread drift, and in a vain attempt to get it back on topic..

Has anyone really considered what Lemon Isostar really looks like once it's been poured into a clear plastic hydration bladder :shock:

no, I know a lot of women mountaineers, on a trip in the summer a couple were discussing which was the best for toilet breaks on long alpine days without taking a hraness off :D this was after a few drinks...

My god, I would need to be totally legless to be discussing peeing arrangements with another woman and in front of a bloke :shock:

In no way could they have mistaken you for another woman :lol:

Intakes should be around 2.5 ltr per day rising to 5 ltr per day at altitude, part of that will come from food unless you're existing on a diet of dry biscuits and crisps of course :D If you do have dehydration then you need to re-hydrate at a rate of 600ml in the first 30mins and then 600ml per hour afterwards and not more. Normal hydration will be over 1200ml of urine output per 24hrs pale and odourless.

All of which is just the technical justification for stopping and having a drink from time to time which is just nicer.

All of which is fine, until the thirsty person stops for a drink, and consumes a liquid which requires the body to utilise more stored fluids in the processing and digestion. Which makes the potential for dehydration worse.
So, alcohols, coffee, rum, fizzy caffeinated drinks, basically anything which the body has a tough time turning into something useful.

Yes, it is nice to stop and have a drink, and you're buying :D
