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 :-)

First turns of winter - Aiguille du Midi (yes again) + video

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
In Chamonix we think (and hope) that this last snowfall will stay with us and become the first of many creating our winter base.

Just in case and not one to miss some fresh snow I along with Susie, Rhianon and Nate headed up to see what we could find

Earlier in the morning



The first turn is the toughest.



Out onto the face



Up onto the ridge



Mind the gap



Bit narrow in places



First track on the ridge belongs to Mr Nate Wallace



Some nice turns in the wide open



A few pretty turns



Nate getting some pow



The Midi looking wintery now



A little video from Nate

More later (when I get some editing done to my footage)

The snow was soft on velvet over a smooth base - most of the summers crevasses are under an nice firm layer - pity they close the lift in 3 weeks Sad

Another angle on the day Smile

Mosha Marc, +1.

Idris, you post the sort of stuff I wish I could do, in fact I'm sure I could if:
1. I was good enough.
2. I wasn't scared of heights.
3. I had that much confidence in my first turns in fresh snow with that exposure.
4. I was 25 years younger.
5. etc. etc.

Keep it up.

Idris, great pics. Also, you guys must be some kind of 'special nutters' because I was up there today (just as a *spit* sightseer), conditions looked pretty much identical, and didn't see anyone attempting to ski anything. Wisely. Smile

Skiers left (on The Arete) is Mallory and Eugster, not enough snow in
Lower half to ski.

If you mean skiers left as Nate is filming me (utube) then its Envers
Again not enough snow lower down.

I meant Mallory / eugster, but as a joke, I'm glad to think the conditions were the only thing holding you back!

I once walked that arete roped up to a guide, with a handrail fixed and still thought I should have brought a nappy. I remember looking down the slope to my left and just thinking how insane it was that people skied it. Skiing the arete itself is a milder form of madness, but madness nonetheless, kudos.
