Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Looks like you did the same route on day 1 as Mathieu took us on a couple of years ago. The snow cover is so thin this year; the hike up was snow covered and we didn't need crampons or a rope thanks to deep foot holes.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Weathercam,
Good report.
How did you end up losing so much time on the 2nd day?

Looks like a great trip and a fabulous welcome to Chamonix and the Mt Blanc Massive.

@Mother hucker, not too sure as guide was not pushing us, it was only at the bottom of the one hour boot pack that he said things might be tight. My mate was also tired by then, and in fact I did say I could pass on the bootpack as the ski down what we skinned up looked great, and snow was in probably better condition that that we skied on the other side.

I'm starting the HR in 10 days. Has anyone heard any feedback on the conditions?

@ronanh,
No but there is plenty of snow!
I imagine avalanche risk will mean plenty is off limits for now

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thanks! Yes lots of options but will have to decide based on conditions. Is the monastery accessible do you know?
