After yesterday’s aborted mission on the Glacier Rond we figured if we wanted to ski a steep line a better option would be to head over to the Italian side which is the South Face of the massif, and basking in sunshine we were anticipating being presented with some lovely corn snow. So after heading

TR: Chamonix 2012 Day 3 – Glacier Rond Failure, Vallee Blanche Plan B
It started with a loaded question over dinner – ‘Are your edges sharp?” – I replied in the affirmative and said they had been serviced that day. I didn’t think much of it as our plan for the next day was to climb over the Col du Chardonnet and spend a night in a refuge
TR: Chamonix 2012 Day 2 – Glacier du Tour Noir
After a great ski tour yesterday the day dawned sunny again so more touring seemed to be the logical conclusion. The Argentiere Basin is an area that I had not spent any time at all in (if you exclude skiing from the top of Grands Montets). Col du Passon is a Chamonix classic that I
TR: Chamonix 2012 Day 1 – Col du Belvedere
After a very worthwhile week in Turkey (more details on sister blog aussieskier.com ) I came back to Chamonix to ski for myself. After landing in Geneva I jumped in a van to Chamonix and met up with Jerome to check in to the amazing apartment he found for me. I am very spoiled and

2012 Line Skis Range and Review
I think the Line Prophet 90 is the best ski I’ve ever owned. It’s built like a wide GS ski, with a twin tip for versatility. It can carve on everything but boilerplate, charges full speed off-piste, and only starts to feel narrow once the pow reaches your boot tops. We ski a lot of

TR: Chamonix Day 17 – Glacier de Toule & Courmayeur
After a well-earned day off it was time to ski. While there had been a terrible foehn blowing in Chamonix, on the other side of the range in Italy it had been snowing, so we decided to head through the tunnel to check it out. The scenes at either end of the tunnel could not
TR: Chamonix Day 14 – Couloir Marbrées
We had originally wanted to ski this couloir the day before, but there was a chilly northerly breeze that Jerome was afraid would prevent the couloir softening up, which would make it an absolute death trap. But today was still with a slight southerly, which meant we could go and ski one of the bigger

[ad#Adsense Banner] We woke in La Grave to the impressive Meije towering above us, it was great to see it from our hotel bed. But alas the word was that La Grave was skied out and bumps everywhere – we had overheard in the bar the night before that the guided groups were going to
