The Braun huts are in major avalanche terrain and we saw quite a few paths and even a few go off. These huts are not that expensive to book, but they fill up a year in advance so it is hard to get in. Luckily there is a market of people selling their spots when they discover that they cannot go on the date they booked long in advance. Some of the 10th mountain huts have a lot of amenities like even saunas and such but others are just yurts.Jao van de Lagemaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853597371091364769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-1604163422349599872011-07-15T20:12:53.035-06:002011-07-15T20:12:53.035-06:00thanks for the link, looks like a real nice spot. ...thanks for the link, looks like a real nice spot.

We probably had mostly whiskey, brandy and vodka. I do remember a flask of wine the first night.<br /><br />The snow was mostly really good. It was dumping like crazy every night. Saw several slides set off. One really close by.

The D50 is very light and small compared to the D300 I use most.Jao van de Lagemaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853597371091364769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-77305001876054666152011-07-13T23:16:55.473-06:002011-07-13T23:16:55.473-06:00" (more booze could be packed this way)"..."
