In reply to The Ice Doctor:
In good weather there will be others & lots of tracks to follow. Very rare to ski roped up in the Alps although clearly you need a rope 'just in case', length dependent on the size of the party. Last time I skied in that part of the world was as a group of 2 and we each had a 30m rope.
edit to add - maybe this would be better in the ski forum?
