Got back to North Wales last night having just spent the past 5 days out in Chamonix, off piste skiing, touring and Combat Skiing through the trees with Nick and Stu!!
Did a few interesting things like the Combe de al Noire, Italian side of the Valley Blanche from Col de Flambe near Point Helbronner in beautiful blue skies, had a day on the Crouches - Berard Traverse in some poor light and weather conditions that brightened up late afternoon. We also had a day heading off the back of the Brevent towards the Col d'Antere with some interesting skiing back down the Gorge towards Plan Jour.

Lots of Snow in Coire an t Snaechda along with not so typical alpine weather!
My van buried after the 36hours of constant snowfall, 6 hours of digging later it was free along with all the other cars in the car park.
Hi Dave,
ReplyDeletesorry to take so long to get back to you.
Chamonix looked good and the weather seemed a little better than the stuff we had!
Thanks again for the tips you gave me. Managed to get the missus out for her 2nd winter climbing-ish day out, which she enjoyed. Handy coz I booked those flights to Geneva so I need to do more homework.
Hope to bump into you again (maybe glenmore again next year, argh).
cheers
Tim
ps more than happy to put a link up if you want :)
