High Mountain Video Report : 18th January 2013

Take Care in the Powder

By Sophie Nicholson, Updated

For a weekly round up of the climbing and off piste skiing conditions in and around Chamonix, check out these great High Mountain Video Reports in association with Seven Twenty Productions and local expedition company Mountain World Limited.

In this week's video blog, Charlie talks about the fantastic powder conditions in Chamonix this week and reminds anyone venturing off piste to make sure they have the appropriate experience, are carrying avalanche safety equipment (transceiver, shovel and probe) and know how to use it.

NB: Off piste skiing, climbing and mountaineering are dangerous. The opinions expressed in these videos are very much time and condition specific and the content is not intended in any way to be a substitute for hiring a mountain guide, undergoing professional mountaineering training and/or the individual's own backcountry decision making.
