Snow, snow and more snow: it just won’t stop snowing! In between sheltering from blizzards and doing snow-related works on her car, last week Danielle met up with the Swisskisfari snow doctor, Robert Bolognese, for an expert opinion on the weather.
As exciting as it is, snow falling this fast has to be treated with care. Driving conditions are dangerous and we must wait until the snow has stabilised before heading high to make fresh tracks. In preparation for client trips in the New Year, the team are monitoring the snow pack to make sure the mountain is safe for our clients in 2012.
Welcome the wing-suited base jumper
Forget extreme skiing and base jumping, when it comes to adventure, our new France-based heli pilot, Seb, is all about wing-suit base jumping right now. Obviously. Flying helicopters by day, this adrenalin junkie grew up in the French Alps, and has now brought his fantastic knowledge of the Alpine terrain to the Swisskisafari team.
Seb and Danielle are currently preparing the honeymoon to beat all honeymoons for two clients. Starting in Chamonix, they will heli-ski throughout the Alps each day, crossing the border into Switzerland, and even spend a night in a luxurious treehouse on stilts. Well, when you have a local guide in the form of a helicopter pilot at hand, why wouldn’t you? If you’re interested in hearing more about our heli skiing ideas, get in touch.
