Patrick's Streak, Ski Travel Priorities

Even if we ignore our FTO nit-picky commentary on trip choices, the fact is Patrick has a ridiculously long ski streak. How many people in the world can say that?
Many, but in North America nearly all of them are backcountry skiers in the Pacific Northwest. Once Patrick got to even 100 I opined somewhere that he was only one living in in Eastern North America, and now he's at 241.
"Unique" bucket and has required some unique choices to keep going even when injured and etc...
Bob Peters and Ron Cram continued streaks ~59 days after major injury/surgery I think.

Most of us ski fanatics have exerted unusual efforts in pursuit of ski objectives. Critiques of Patrick are mainly about the decades of
opportunity cost.
with no end in sight.
 
Patrick likely has decent glacier options due to Halloween Storms. It's been dry since then, but it looks very active starting Monday and continuing through the next two weeks. There is snow above 2500m.

Patrick is in France with family near Lyon. Austria is not practical on this trip. He might get to Zermatt. He's looking at Glacier 3000 also.
