georgiapeach:
Can't remember if we had this buried in spoilers or not... but we picked this up back in December.
The team in charge of the glacier tasks seems to be SNOW FEVER.

The helicopter seen here: (promo 3 caps) HB-XSU
is registered to Air Zermatt ag...known for their mountain rescues...
--- Quote ---Zermatt possesses its own well-equipped heliport and its own helicopter company AIR ZERMATT Ltd., which is famous far beyond the borders of Switzerland for its pioneering work in alpine air-rescue. The heliport is situated at the entrance to Zermatt, where 4 helicopters are based. Another 4 helicopters are based further down the Rhone valley between Visp and Raron and at the Sion airport. These highly-equipped helicopters are on stand-by day and night throughout the year ready to fly injured skiers or mountaineers to a doctor or a hospital. A helicopter is also the quickest and gentlest way of transporting acute cases. An experienced doctor accompanies our crew. This means that a sick or injured person can be flown to a doctor in the village within minutes, or to one of the well-equipped Valais hospitals in 12 to 15 minutes. In cases where weather conditions prevent the helicopter from flying, our ambulance service takes over.

That's what I thought too! I thought, if they are still racing the leg, why would they take time out do a PI and be so casual & relaxed about it? I suppose they could have done the roadblock and then raced back to the helipad for the PS?
Also, if they are suppose to bring their gnomes to the PS, wouldn't they be a gooey mess? Does chocolate dry/freeze that fast?
Prophet:
That cap is not the pitstop. Why would they go do the roadblock, come back to the detour staging area, put their safety gear back on and then check in?
I think they have time to do a confessional there because they are waiting on the helicopter to take them up or down the mountain. It seems like they have not done the detour yet but I can't tell for sure.

Wow prophet, I was speculating... Although a few of you know what the heck really happens, you forget that us lowly people are completely oblivious and have to guess and speculate and hope for a tidbit to be thrown here and there. The first sentence of your response was not necessary, which was basically saying "Are you STOOPID?" :ascared
The second sentence would have been enough.
Jobby:
I really don't think Prophet meant it that way... it didn't sound like he was dissing you.
I don't know what's going on as well and I have to agree. Screen cap 4 does look like pitstop. :)
