Probably the last ski mountainnering of 14/15 winter season

A cool day today, was supposed to be heading to the Grand Mulets hut for  a ski up Mont Blanc tomrrow, but the Chamonix weather forecast is bad so we ended up at the Aig du Midi for a few turns and an ascent of the Arete de Laurance with coffee at the Refuge des Cosmiques!

Chamonix days and New Email contact!

With all the heavy snow fall last week conditions are really nice, climbs very wintry with some ace snow but ofcourse its turns soft in the afternoon sun. There is some suspect snow about but that's life in the mountains..
Please note we have changed  our email address
