I am looking buddies for easy randonee skiing or alpine touring. I am just getting started and tend to be a bit slower than most people I go with. I like look at the pretty scenery more than race to the summit. I also am just learning to read the snow and avalanche conditions so I would love to find people who know a bit more than me (but are not super fast). I am free most weekends for day trips from Lausanne area!

Let me know if you are planning anything and wouldn't mind if I tag along (tomorrow???)

Thanks.
My advice to you is do an avalanche course first. Most people who tour want to make sure that the people going with them are in a situation to be able to assess the risk level for themselves, and that if the sh!t does hit the fan everyone in the group knows what to do.

Guides get paid to select a safe route, if you go with others you can not expect them to accept the risk for you, you need to be able to make your own decision as to whether you go or stay.
