The best conditions in over 40 years!
… they say on the chamonix.com webpage, and it feels pretty good to be here when it’s happening. The last couple of days we’ve been spoiled with very good skiing and Aiguille du midi has been fantastic. Not many people after the last snow made it possible to ski fresh trax for two days.. The day before, flegere held endless of powder and were was all the crowds? The answer is probably that january can be a really good month to visit the alps before all the european winter holidays. We are looking forward to the rest of the season here before we head north to the Lyngen alps!

Ski touring in Chamonix
The last 5 days i’ve been skiing and touring with a bunch of happy Tromsö skiers. Breche de berard, Aiguille du midi, Glacier Toula, col du passon and Glacier Mort gave us great days and good variation. The sun has been shining non stop and the temperatures have been cold wich helpes when sporting around in the mountains all day long.
Thanks guys for a great week !

SnowSnowSnow…
Many parts of the alps are getting loads of snow at the moment and Chamonix are no exception. It looks like we are gonna have a great winter here and the base down low will probably last fo a while. We feel very fortunate to be part of such a magic season opening and there is still some dates to be filled up… See you out there!
The sun came out for a day and I took the chance to take some pictures from Aiguille du midi. Truly amazing atmosphere when the mountains get plastered like this.
