They truly are, amazing for skiing, great for hiking :)

I bed. They are renowned for a reason. I am sure you will love it.

Will you go high enough where you reach snow or is that out of the question?

Not likely, we'll keep it between 6.5-10k feet, the glaciers are above say 11.5k. But we might go skiing to one of them next May/June just to enjoy before they melt due to the global warming :)
