Chamonix Snow Report : 8th December 2011

A morning touring with White Dot Steve, four minutes, four turns

Thanks to Steve Walton from White Dot Skis for this video filmed yesterday.

So, this would appear to kick off the season, I've just made a 4 minute ski video with quite literally 4 turns.

Was a good walk though, shame about the slabby snow!

We hiked straight up the front of Le Tour, nice easy hike for the start of the season, get the legs working again and get into the habit of being up early. Worth it for the beautiful views watching the sun come up and over the mountains in the morning sky.

Atleast the intention was there. Maybe make one next week with actual skiing in it! Crazy Thought!
