BLOG / PHOTOS: Chamonix Ski Conditions – January 30th 2014

January 30, 2014jackgeldardBlog2 comments

Finally it seems that things are settling down here in Chamonix. More lines are being skied, the snow has a reasonable base and the conditions are generally quite good at the moment.

Here’s a couple of photos from a few days ago up at Le Tour.

The ice climbing this season has been very fickle, but with the onset of cold temperatures once again, I have heard that Cogne is in very good shape. You can check out Jon Griffith’s photo from a couple of days ago.

I don’t have much more info until the weekend, as I have been away – over at the huge tradeshow of ISPO in Munich, Germany. But with some snow and a lot of cloud forecast for Saturday and Sunday, I think tree skiing will be in order…
