While more and more great content has been contributed to EveryTrail it has been quiet from my side. But.... behind the scenes I am working hard with developers in Stanford and Romania to create some really unique GPS & mapping functionality. And the results of that work are close to being released now...

EveryTrail blogger Tomas Olsson is aiming for a very ambitious goal this spring. His objective is to climb Mount Everest and ski down from the summit. Tomas is currently preparing for this challenge in Chamonix, France. Time to ask him how his preparations are going!

EveryTrail: Skiing from the summit of Everest is quite an ambitious goal. Can you tell us a little bit about your history? How, when and where did you start skiing and climbing?

They have at least two things in common:

1) In 2004 they both skied from the summit of Cho Oyu, the world's 6th highest mountain
2) They both spend as much time as possible on their skis

Tomas Olsson      Greg Nieuwenhuys

Tomas is preparing his Everest expedition in the spring of 2006, while Greg is focussing on the Alps right now.

Welcome Tomas and Greg! We will follow you closely.

Currently he is in Punta Arenas, waiting for his flight to Patriot Hills in Antarctica. Victor will be podcasting (audio blogging) by satellite phone to keep EveryTrail readers up-to-date.

We exchanged some email today. When I asked him when the plane would leave, he answered:

"We will not know when we are leaving till the plane takes off! The flights to Patriot Hill are often delayed, the last group left 6 days late. The group that took the plane out on the return leg had been delayed 12 days going in."

Smells like good adventure! I wish I could be there, too. Victor, good luck and enjoy! Looking forward to listening to your podcasts.

Alan modestly characterizes himself as "a passionate amateur of alpine mountaineering". He climbed the world's 6th highest mountain Cho Oyu and attempted Everest twice, where he reached 8200 meters before having to turn back. His blog will contain news from the international climbing world.

Alan is preparing an expedition to Broad Peak and K2 in the summer of 2006.

Hans Solmssen is a mountain guide in Verbier, Switzerland, where he spends his winters skiing and his summers rock climbing. He also likes to venture out into the oceans on yachts. Ooh what a life :) I have been lucky enough to go on several ski, climb and sailing trips with him.

Scott Dunlapp turned to trailrunning after he had enough of long working hours as an entrepreneur. He ranked as the number 1 trail runner in the USA. He is based out of Woodside, California, where the trails start in his backyard.

Falco van Vloten is a soon-not-to-be-consultant-anymore ski fanatic. He decided to quit his job to focus on his major passion: skiing. Falco and I spent many weekends together in the Alps on our skis and we were skiing in the Himalays together in 2003.

I am excited to have these 3 great outdoor sportsmen on board and I expect them to take us all along on their great adventures. Enjoy reading!
