    Maryse and Jojo Meet in Nepal

    by

    Rien de tel pour se ressourcer avant la saison d’hiver de s’évader au Népal pour un merveilleux trekking sur la route de l’Everest. Randonner aux pieds de tous ces prestigieux 8000m, monter jusqu’à leurs camps de base par des cols escarpés à + de 5000m, apprécier la gentillesse, les chants et la bonne humeur des Sherpas qui inlassablement montent toutes les marchandises et ravitaillements à dos d’hommes, avec souvent des charges de 50kg, sur les sentiers sinueux à plus de 4500m . C’est tous les jours une leçon de vie et de courage !

    Et en plus ! un jour au détour d’un chemin,  l’incroyable rencontre avec Jojo O’Briens dans un petit village sur la route de l’Everest !  »

    Here comes more snow, where has the spring gone?

    Thursday:
    After a random day today with some lovely powdery conditions up on Klein Matterhorn this morning and then some serious spring slush over on Sunnegga this afternoon, tomorrow will bring much of the same. Expect light snow showers all day so make sure you wear your low light lenses. The temperature will be mild, only dropping to -12ºC at the top lift station and staying above zero all day and night in town. Go search for the powder stashes!!

    Friday:
    Friday appears to be much the same as Thursday. However the sun may well show itself at intervals throughout the day so enjoy the visibility when it comes. The wind will remain light and temperatures mild during the day but wrap up warm if you are going out at night as it may get as cold as -9ºC. That’s if you are in any fit state after the bad taste party on Thursday night!!

    Saturday:
    The morning should be a peach with beautiful skiing conditions, sunshine, only a little cloud, and warm temperatures. The afternoon on the other hand will be bringing yet more of the white stuff. Will the snow ever stop? This truly has been an awesome season! Or you could have gone snowboarding with ES Ride, Zermatt’s Snowboard School

    Snow, Snow, Snow!!

    Thursday:
    Wednesday night is expected to bring a big dumping of snow after pretty interesting weather today. Continued fresh winds will make the temperature feel cold. The temperature on Thursday will drop further getting as low as -20’C at the top lift stations so the fresh snow conditions should be great.

    Friday:
    Conditions should be much of the same as yesterday with more snow showers, so there should be some freshies to be found. However the wind speeds may be picking up so put on your wind stopper before leaving the house.

    Saturday:
    The morning should bring a little more snow but clearing later with the possibility of a blue bird afternoon. Back to the Zermatt we know and love! Don’t be fooled by the sunshine the temperature will still be cold and reasonable wind speeds so keep your layers on.
