Hüenri

The winter has been crap in the north so it wasn't until now (late January) that Romain and I finally got to take advantage of some mid-week pre-work powder... Axel celebrated his first day of joblessness by joining us as well. We headed to Hüenerchopf, an easy mountain that we skied last year as the final outing of the season. Quite different conditions now with 10-20cm or so of nice powder all the way from top to bottom. The snow exceeded expectations and we were glad to have gotten up early because on the way down we passed at least 20 other people...

one of the nice things about this tour is the constant view of the Churfristen
