Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mountain Guides Adventure, Chamonix
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi. I'm looking at doing an off piste course in Chamonix this year. Has anyone used Mountain Guides Adventure aka MGA? Good price and course looks good but hey look very French so a bit worried about the language. I can get by ok but not sure I'd want to rely on my language ability in a difficult situation.

MGA look very interesting - made a mental note - check out https://www.zigzagski.com/ -used before in Chamonix and the Mont-Blanc Massif area - I recall one of the guides saying they do courses - though never looked into it myself

If you mean you are too old, I have heard the age range is more of a suggestion than a strict enforcement. Try sending them an email and you might be ok.
