Ice Climbing Partners?

Hello!

I'm hoping to find ice climbing partners for this winter. I'm living in Switzerland for a year and I'm hoping to do lots of ice climbing and ski touring over the winter. I want to do ice climbing, mixed rock and ice climbing, and mountaineering using skis.

Does anyone know when the climbing season starts here? Also where is ski touring good early in the season?

I live in Baden, AG very close to Zurich and I would take the train to almost anywhere in Switzerland to go climbing for the weekend.
