Skiing in Chamonix

Sunday, 29th December 2013

This Christmas I went skiing in Chamonix with Uncle Pete and Aunty Tish. We arrived on the Sunday before Christmas and spent the first day at Planards to get our ski legs back.

Crevasse Rescue Practice

Saturday, 13th April 2013

Today there was no fresh snow, no clouds, no wind, and – can you believe it – blue skies! Having achieved little in the way of the ski touring we’d planned due to the weather, it was decided that a day in the ValleÃ© Blanche would be fun – isn’t it always!

Skiing in Mayrhofen

Tuesday, 2nd April 2013

Richard and I are skiing in Mayrhofen this week. The snow on our first ski day was really good (particularly for Easter), but we were in the cloud all day and so the visibility was not great. It was tricky to see the piste-markers and at times we had to wait for skiers to come …

A couple of last images from Chamonix… It’s always good to remember good times, and the skiing this year in Chamonix and Courmayeur was awesome, really awesome! So much powder!
