Enjoy.

Looks awesome! How are conditions, are they having a good snow year? Thinking of going there in late March. MY BLNR is my typical snowboard watch but perhaps I should take my 16570 polar on Nato this time....

perfect for skiing indeed, looks great.

Thanks all. Indeed, the Exp II was / is the perfect companion.

We had good powder snow; only one poor day of weather but the conditions were ideal on the other days. Enjoy!

Oh dear; sorry to hear that. Hope it didn't put you off.

Awesome photos and updates - thanks so much for keeping this thread alive - love this watch, such character!!

This watch is so bad ass when photographed in its element. It’s the definition of international sports watch.

Looks like the perfect companion for the slopes and dinner! That water drop on the cyclops is a cool touch, definitely adds some character to the shot.

That’s awesome, I would be looking at that watch more than skiing! ��

Why do people confuse the Explorer II as a watch to be worn in the snow? Last time I checked, it was made to be worn underground.

That aside, the watch looks great in your pics, OP.
