last winter...

6th May - Well it's feeling like the end of the Winter now, with Grands Montets closing this week. However, despite the fact it is May, we have had some fantastic last minute dumps of snow which has let us ride a metre of fresh powder this week. The snow has been sticking nicely onto the steeper terrain and we have managed to get into some of the classic Chamonix lines. I've really enjoyed skiing the Igneous skis this season, go to the links page to check out their website, movie and find out what they're about. It's been a great Winter and we hope to see you all again next season - it's never too early to get in touch, so we look forward to hearing from you soon, cheers Simon.

Those Igneous skis doing their thing in the Cosmiques Couloir...

Also good conditions on the Rond Glacier...

We've also been out and about touring and had some great days with Kit and his friends, here they are descending from the Petit Combin.

10th April - Snowboarders can tour too - getting fresh turns in powder conditions descending the Gran Paradiso in Italy.

We are taking bookings not only for this Summer but also for next Winter. If you fancy getting away from the crowds and finding fresh snow, check out our custom guiding options as well as our intro backcountry programmes for skiers and snowboarders.

Fantastic conditions this week in Chamonix where we managed to descend the Vallée Blanche all the way to the valley for probably for the last time this season - We will still be doing Vallée Blanche descents for the rest of April however we will be using the train at Montenvers from now on

3rd April - We've been enjoying the fresh snow this week - a mixture of Foehn wind and rising temperatures has affected the snowpack - but there is good snow off-piste when you find it. Take advantage of the great Winter conditions and come Ski touring this April/early May. We are taking bookings for this Summer - with some availability left in August and September - contact us soon.

24th March – The forecast has delivered and we are enjoying deep, light snow – wish you were here? – well we do too – contact us for Custom Off Piste Guiding and let us show you our favourite venues when the snow’s this good – More snow forecast over the next few days with another heavy snowfall expected tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

23rd March - Powder Alert - We’ve been enjoying some fantastic weather over the last couple of weeks allowing us to do some great day and hut touring in lovely snow conditions. However, as this season keeps proving, it’s time for another top up of snow. A large depression tracking in from the North West is promising to drop a heavy snowfall in the Chamonix area tonight, with the freezing level dropping to 500m and expected snowfall at 2000m expected to be in excess of 80cm, the Winter season is not over yet and will keep us ski-touring into May, contact us for Custom Private Guiding both for Off Piste and Ski Touring.
