Trig finally hits the slopes of Chamonix after a couple of weeks in Italy. Although the temperature have risen, and then fallen over the nights, the pistes are looking nice. Firm, but nice.

There is still loads going on in town with the Christmas festivities in full swing and the New Year parties looming.

Jonathan Trigell is the author of the novel Boy A winner of The John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, The Waverton Award and The World Book Day Prize 2008, which was recently turned into a BAFTA winning drama by Film 4. He also wrote the first serious novel about winter sports: Cham. "Trigell’s ski-bum hedonism does for extreme winter sports what Alex Garland’s The Beach did for backpacking" - The Financial Times
