Pistehors editor davidof is off sick until at least the end of April :-(. So don’t expect much in the way of snow condition updates from him. If you have any news or trip reports please post them. In the meantime the reserve team will try and bring you some interesting bits of news. We’ve already started with the Swiss Avalanche Accident Report for 2011.

Please wish him a swift recovery

Maybe we should talk about something other than avalanches to try and cheer him up.

Get well soon David

Chin-up!

He should be back at the start of May. He was in hospital on Thursday and it is not even a ski injury but a lung infection!

Hi

I’m feeling a bit better now. Some kind of mystery virus but it has pretty much wiped out April for me. A bit frustrating as there has been some reasonable snow over the last few days.

Welcome back - glad you are feeling better. I similarly went down with a strange virus that completely floored me a couple of months ago and then ended up with Pneumonia, so I think I know how you felt.

Thanks a lot, I’m still not 100%, probably no sport before mid-May but I’m able to work.
