A fantastic day! We've had clear skies and (once we climbed out of the shadow of the mountain and the sun rose higher) hot sun. We left the Dix Hut at 7 am and climbed steadily to the summit of Pigne d'Arolla (3790 m) which we reached at 11.45. About 1000 m of climbing. The views were stunning. And then we had a beautiful ski down to the Vignettes Hut, seen perched on the edge of a huge cliff in the last of these photos, arriving midday. A truly memorable day.

It's Sunday and I'm wondering if the weather held? I am willing you both to be able to finish with no white out.. the Tippex effect. Imagining your relief if/when you ski into Zermatt!XX
