Alpenglow



7th- Work
8th- Work - could have ski'd in the afternoon, but was pretty disastrous as Courmayeur (where I dropped someone) had beautiful weather and I was on my way back to Chamonix which seemed to have its own little world of crap weather. Still it brought the snow!
9th - Still no high pressure, no stability so went up to Le Tour, have not been here for a while and it was a great change. Some really good off piste opportunities to find!
10th - Blizzard! Good news, lots of snow - Bad News....nothing is open.. managed to do all grown up jobs that had been waiting months!
11th - Powder Day! Powder lesson followed by cloudy powder. Good day, not super sunny and very cold but great to be out bounding around in the really deep powder! Started at Grand Montets and drove up to le Tour after lunch. Awesome stuff.
Started practicing some MIA ropework today from the balcony. A good little set-up! Also the view wasn't too bad (pic above shot from the balcony)
