Only Aiguille du midi but with another big dump of snow forecast this week Vallée Blanche could be superb. You just need to check there is enough cover at the bottom to get to the cable car which takes you up to the Montenvers train. It was passable yesterday but not by much.

Yes the Midi stays open and snow is good. You can ski almost all the way down to the stairs to the montenvers train. The small cable car there is also running. However there are no ropes on the Midi snow ridge and with the amount of fresh snow there is now you have to ski it.
A bit more info and some photos at: Chamonix snow conditions in May

Don't know about anyone else but I would have zero interest in skiing down the arête with the ropes taken away!!!!?

BobinCH, When I was up last saturday I can remember thinking it looked a bit thin (limited view from back of the bin mind you) and then saw some vid on seth morrisons blog of 2 guys heading down there that same day... one man's sketchy is another man's awesome conditions...!!
