Read reviews of the best Chamonix events
It's been a good six years since I learnt anything about avalanches, and that was on an introduction to winter moutaineering course in Scotland.. a little bit different to now where I'm snowboarding off piste on a regular basis here in Chamonix, so I thought it would be a good idea to brush up on some avalanche safety and the key things to look out for.

Dragging myself out of bed at 4am and onto a bus at 5:30am goes against every fibre of my being, so there had to be a good reason for putting myself in this situation. Getting to the start line of the OCC is half the battle, in my opinion, so running 55km through the mountains would surely be a breeze after that.
The Vertical KM covers 1000 metres of vertical ascent over 3.8km's, a steep climb for the extremely fit. This video catches up with some of the runners of the 2013 KM Vertical.
