Unsettled Conditions in Chamonix

Imprint
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 unsettled conditions in Chamonix this week, skiing the Helbronner, Courmayeur, the Pas de Chevre, and the Cosmiques Couloir. Climbing conditions are not great right now - it's all about the skiing.

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.
