The rain was grim, but it's much colder now and the snow is brilliant but there a have been a lot of avalanches - so - great conditions and more on the way, but be careful....

firebug, what's the crack with the avy talk on wednesday? Is it something you need to book etc? I'm back in Praz on monday for a few days and would be very interested in going.
My daughters new nanny/instructor (Henry) had told me that Jerry (well actually he told her that Molly) had moved from the Rhody to VB, I'll have to call in to say hi. I gather he and francois are still talking so what happened? And is the new chap any good (only had the briefest of closing time chats & for some reason can't remember half of it)?
Thanks

Just clicked through onto your Flickr photos. Wow!!! The ice climbing ones are amazing! And your chalet looks pretty awesome too!

Great day at the GM today - where the hell was everyone??? Fresh tracks to be had round every corner, vis not too bad to about 2/3 height of Bochard, so loads of fun to be had low down...

offpisteskiing, firebug, how much snow fell last night and today? Need to make a decision between Chamonix or Verbier for a rare Friday outing... I think Chamonix got more.

bobinch, snowed consistently but slowly all day wednesday, reckon about 5 to 6" of fresh at Les Houches by the end of the day.
offpisteskiing, don't know where everyone else was but i got up and looked at the viz and thought - Les houches and trees. Bochard had been out of action for a couple of days which probably put a lot of folks off GM on weds.

Eskil, Thanks for that link also. Saw some tracks up to the Marbree entrance from Hellbroner on Friday. How tough is the top part?

The prmoised blue sky day didn't really materialise today. High clouds and a westerly wind hung around all day. Skied over from Vallorcineto Le Tour in the morning. Pistes in lovely condition but the off piste is windblown and quite tracked. There are some great open slopes from the top of Le Tour which would be great in fresh powder. GM also pretty tracked out and windblown.
Cmaonix Meteo predicting 30cm tonight and another 20 tomorrow. Lets hope the wind doesn't ruin it.... Monday could be epic!

bobinch, you can enter the Marbree either from the skiers-left by walking around Aig de Marbree or by boot packing over the ridge skiers-right of the summit. Both ways, the first part is pretty steep (45-40 degrees) for about 300m. It is a no-fall zone, some rock bands below. Usually people let it settle for a day after a snow fall before skiing it. The local Italians normally know when it is time to go =) One of my favorite runs, but only when the snow conditions are perfect (not too tracked and lots of loose powder). Have had a look into it a few times and turned around.
