Alan Sloan	Monday 04 May 2009 1:08:07 pm The Eagle Ski Club group greatly enjoyed the Haute Route with you. Your 10 day idea gave us time for a "warm up" day tour at the beginning, two extra days to cope with "Scottish" weather and a spare day for a great day tour from Zermatt at the end (and time for a pre end of trip Italian using your local knowledge in Zermatt). I gather the storms of Monday/Tuesday and subsequent avalanche risk put paid to many tours scheduled for last week. Despite the presence of guided groups from Sweden, Japan, USA and others the only groups to ski through to Zermatt on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday were our group and Oliver/Nicole/Yvonne who teamed up with us. Thank you for facilitating our achievement and for your customary tuition in mountain travel. YEEHAA! Alan
Chris Lear	Monday 04 May 2009 8:20:40 pm Thanks Andy for keeping us in the mountains in the blizzard (The Nacamuli hut will not be forgotten), so making an impressive wilderness experience out of the most popular part of the haute route. And for beating us at bridge of course. We'll have to see whether the anti-mincing lobby will have any long-term effect.
Gary Bebb	Tuesday 05 May 2009 6:00:49 pm Just completed the Haute route with Andy. We had great experience and some harsh weather but well worth it, with a final day in Zermat ski-ing from the top of the Briethorn. Gary
Andy Perkins	Monday 11 May 2009 11:56:19 am Guys - it was a pleasure skiing with you all, getting a top result in a week of challenging weather and conditions! Good to get the 10 day and mid week start principle so effectively vindicated too. Hope to see you all next year for more of the same. ANDY
Jonathan Garner	Tuesday 26 May 2009 8:57:21 am We're still high from a fantastic trip and thanks to Andy's skill and judgement were the only group to make it to Zermatt. A wilderness experience on the Haute Route - very special. Andy also surpasses himself in taking excellent pictures - including the only known photo of Susie & I skiing together - and getting a copy of all of them at the end of the trip, together with a personalised CD cover is a fantastic 'extra' to the whole trip. See you next season Andy!
