Snow shoes
Friday, March 16th, 2007 
A couple of weeks ago, my mountaineering buddy Philippe and I took a group of 5 Pepperdine students (picture) snow-shoeing in the Valais Alps in the region above Sierre called Vercorin.
Unfortunately, I told the students they needed to be in good shape to do the 10 to 12 kilometers we’d planned.
They finished the hike without any problem and enjoyed their tea and hot chocolate at the lodge while they waited for me to finish…
But, I DID finish…
