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 :-)

Quick day hit in Chamonix... a combination of a niggly knee & boot problems following a big day on the SW face of the Grande Casse (me), and coming from 3 weeks at sea level stuck in meetings in the US (Oli) meant we went for a gentle day with not too much up and a mellow ski down...
La Maitresse des Lieux:
Business as usual on the arete:
3 snow bikers, one of whom was shortly to try & knock me off the ridge when he turned round to chat to his mate...
Oli on the ridge up to the Noire shoulder:
A short ski down some nice pow, then a short but exposed scramble up to the main pitch:
Nice chalky snow all the way:
La face:
A few holes on the way back down the Periades Glacier:
The bottom of the VB was the usual circus, complete with skiing dwarf...
Big thanks to Damien at Sanglard/Boot Locker for finally sorting my boot issues - Merci!!
