Easter holiday

The easter, thursday-monday, was spent at Simplon Pass, south in Switzerland (Almost at the Italian border). We didn't have sun every day, but bad weather doesn't exist, and we could do nice skitours (with good cllothes...:-) ) every day, also in snow and wind. And we also had 3 days of (partly) sunny of weather. We had really nice and funny skitours, with good snow. I really love beiing outside in the mountains (in all weather!) I was also able to test out some equipment for steep terrain; Harscheisen, Steigeisen, Pickel (Don't know the names in english or norwegian, but see pictures below...).
