We did two day tours overall, but we were all happiest when we were on the move hut-to-hutting and we always managed to squeeze in a few detours along ridges and up a few extra peaks and then we could brag about it later to the other teams who were mostly heading between the same huts. It was great to be a small group of 4 and stay close together and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains but on one day when we had been moving through mist and snow all day, approaching Grenzeck Kopf,  we heard some voices and ended up joining 27 Austrians perched around the summit cross singing Easter songs and being generally jolly. Of course Ed decided to do as the locals do and sample some of the local wine at over 3000m. Dreilländer spitze was a more technical scramble to the most knife edge alpine summit I had ever been up but we didn't hang around to enjoy the views as the visibility was about 10 ft!

Skiing down a glacier in white out conditions when you can't see more than 5 ft ahead is rather disconcerting but Max did a sterling job slow motion skiing at the front coming off Dreilländerspitze while Will shouted out directions for the correct bearing and Ed and I created some features to focus on in between. Poor Max ended up with a splitting headache from focussing on various shades of white - another ski touring ailment to add to the back strain both he and Ed sustained from a yoga session we did in the hut on the second day- well, he refused to fall while skiing, so he had to have some weaknesses!
