Happy to be back in France!  La Grave has been on the list for too long and now it is on.  This place does seem to stand up to the legend.   That is John Buzza smiling and me and the kid in the lens.  Have a look at this nice connection to Staffan’s blog for some sweet shots and updates.   http://staffanbjorklund.blogspot.com/

Also Austria has many glaciers featuring summer skiing. www.bergfex.com/oesterreich/gletscher/

We are sending the dates for next winter out in the next few days.  Stay tuned.
