 Poster: A snowHead

That's looking nicer  From a distance glaciers can look grey and horrid, but when you are actually on them they are fine for skiing. In worst case scenarios they are excellent for developing ice and hardpack skills! A few years ago we ran a trip starting at the end of September which was on very icy terrain. We were all a little anxious at first, but after three days I think everyone had lost their fear of skiing on ice and realised that with some adjustments to your skiing you have as much control as you need for skiing icy terrain.
In the 10 years or so that I've skied pre-season on the Grand Motte, the biggest challenge is too much weather and occasionally too much snow rather than too little.

They seemed to have dialled down snow significantly on this morning Snowforecast

Looks to me as if they're still saying around 50cm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Mind you 97Km/h wind looks a bit breezy.

meteoexploration, now suggesting 2m of snow next week, I wonder if we'll get to do any skiing every time I'd set off I'd disappear into a pile of snow
very windy at the start of the week
