What a fantastic week fresh tracks every day, unbelievable powder. you have done it again, producing the best week of the season so far. your attention to planning, safety and detail is absolutely first class. anyone who shares a passion for back country skiing should never miss the opportunity to ski with you, in my opinion you are the Best.
I will most definitely be going for the hat-trick with you next year. it just does not get any better.
all the very best for the rest of the season.

A most enjoyable week with varied terrain, the common theme of which was ... powder! Having a group of skiers who were well matched ability-wise was fortunate. Finding so much untracked powder and the right mix of slopes and terrains to provide some challenge, some pure fun pitches was where your skill & experience made the week. Given the snow base and avalanche risk level, it was reassuring to have you talk through our proposed routes... and to see you continually reassess the conditions and options on the way down. I felt that you tailored the days to our abilities, taking into account the weather forecast and the opportunities that Mother Nature's reality provided, and the energy levels of the group as the day progressed. Having a dynamic approach to each day's plans certainly enabled us to make the most of the week ... which was memorable for all the right reasons. Thanks Andy!

Hi Isla and Paul
Another winner of a week in Diablerets with great snow, great skiing (and skiers!) and a brilliant dynamic this year within the group. Julie Ann and I really enjoyed skiing with you guys.
Thanks for your great feedback, and I look forward to seeing you in the mountains again.
