 Poster: A snowHead
|
Off to Argentiere tomorrow now the flights are running.
Is anyone still out there or going this weekend ?
Planning Valee Blanche - anyone interested in teaming up and booking guide for the whole day ? There are 2 of us and we would need a couple more to make it work.

PBJ, I believe ww166no is in Chamonix over the weekend, he (and his other half) would probably be interested in sharing a guide for the day as we had half organised this earlier in the year but it fell through. They are keen to go up the VB as they have not yet, their skiing is certainly strong enough for all the descent routes upto and including the Grand Envers. Four of you should easily manage 2 descents in the day even using the Montenvers for return to Chamonix. Try giving them a pm.
If you are interested give me a pm and I will reply with the details of a guide who did us a three descent day at a cost of €260. Knackering but thats getting your monies worth  .

Back yesterday - fab weekend.
Marcus and I Skied Vallee Blanche with guide Didier and ww16no (Will and Louise) on Saturday - first from the Italian side in the morning and the the Petit Envers route in the afternoon. A few cm of fresh at the top in Italy but mixture of soft spring snow and very soft slushy stuff lower down in France.
Spent rest of the time at Grand Montets - lovely spring snow on the glacier, but the run home was like soup with temps at the bottom of near 20 C - stayed at GM Hotel and ate at Dahu - both superb.
Resort very quiet.
Packing gear away tonight ........... roll on 2011.

PBJ, pleasure, glad you enjoyed.
Only a little jealous, sat in my hotel room in Riga at 1.30 in the morning, no snow in sight 
Did Didier take you through the ice towers on the PE route? bloody awesome!

midgetbiker, he did - and no one gave him their skis to carry up the steps after the second run either!
