Chamonix, but no Haute Route for us!

Friday, 19th April 2019

Laetitia and I had planned to do the Haute Route with Ian, Rachel and Andy, and Dawn and Austin several months earlier. However, first Ian had to drop out due to work commitments. Then Austin had to bail because of illness. And now as we arrived in Chamonix Laetitia had caught a wicked flu from …

Vallee Blanche Powder

Tuesday, 12th February 2013

After days and days of lots and lots of snow, with poor visibility and high winds keeping skiers on the lower slopes, at last the day came when we had sunshine and no wind. It had to be a day for the Vallee Blanche.

Chamonix Skiing Picture Fest!

Tuesday, 28th February 2012

The highlight of the week was when Dean & Dave overlapped their week's skiing with the end of ours and we joined up for a weekend of fun that ended with a descent of the VallÃ©e Blanche...

Frendo-Ravanel

Saturday, 5th March 2011

The forecast had been for snow, snow, and more snow, but what we got was sun, sun, and more sun, and the occasional early morning cloud.
