Another tour with some great powder, lots of late snow this season. Getting the hang of this new area as well. Let me know if you are headed there and have questions. Bad weather today and tomorrow, supposed to get cold Wednesday, hopefully with lots of fresh pow from the next two days. Grab a quick flight over and join us? We will be staying in Kals Wed-Fri nights, do local tours, perhaps even Gross Glockener, but it is nearly 6000' of ascent, wonder if I can handle it.
The huts are amazing! Hot showers for $3, awesome food, ham, eggs, potatos for $7, apple strudel $4. No chance of weight loss, or did I say that in the last report?

Nice, Silas! See if you can pick up some Speck (Austrian version of prosciutto, but leaner and cheaper) that stuff is the sh*t! I don't think you're supposed to bring back meat products, but if you get in the front of the line getting off the plane at customs with a couple hundred people in back of you and don't say anything . . .
Hi Silas !
How long are you here in Europe ? I will head down to the Gross Venediger on Thursdaynight and walked up to the first hut by Fridaymorning, April 14th. I will be there with a big group, 10 guys, for a 5 day trip. If there is a chance it would be great to see you again.
Sellrain is another great area. I was there the last weekend by blue sky and sun and 10 inch of powder.
Take care

Greg, you bet we know speck! That was the ham, eggs, and potatos for $7 aka spiegel eier und speck. Forget weight loss on this trip.
