There are techniques to safely climb with a two man party on glaciers (e.g. butterfly knots in the rope) and that skis would have been safer. I had a partner, two man rope team, both of us on skis in the Ruth Gorge who broke through a crevasse and fell all the way in, the rope never coming tight on me because of the butterfly knots in the rope. So, skis are not failsafe, and there are techniques you can use. And using trekking poles instead of an ice axe is not safe. I saw lots of Euros wearing full down suits, soloing, and crossing the Autobahn with just trekking poles. Scary.
