High Mountain Video Report: 6th March 2013
Spring in the Valley
For a regular round up of the off piste skiing and climbing 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 settled sunny conditions we've been experiencing in Chamonix of late. Despite the dry, sunny weather, Charlie's managed to find some good skiing on north facing slopes and has been making the most of a relatively stable snowpack. Skiing aside, this period of settled weather means that the climbing season could be upon us. The spring like conditions are getting us all in the mood - in fact, there are rumours that the North face of Les Courtes has already been done!
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.
