Just wanted to let you esteemed WildSnowers know I’m on my way to Munich, then to Turin, Italy where I’m planning on giving a presentation as well as checking out some huts and backcountry skiing. Will spend about a week in Italy, then head back up to Austria. Will do a sort of a running travelog of the trip — always something amusing when you head for the old country.
In Aspen airport at the moment. Good weather (more drought, dang), fairly mellow for a place that can get heinously crowded and hectic. Flying from here to Chicago, then the big jet to Munich.
