A beautiful snowy day in the #Chamonix Valley. I still have some spare slots for guiding this winter. I’ll also be running some more 3 day open touring trips for regulars so get in touch if you’re keen.

Looks like the next ten days is going to be pretty snowy in Chamonix.

There’s snow up high but it’s thin low down in #Chamonix. Cue the mega dump that’s starting Friday and not stopping until Monday. That will do nicely !!

Great to catch up with Pete Davies today after a few years. We first ski toured together after a last minute intro May 2005. He’s now in his 60s and is skiing better than ever…

Great to get out with Amy and Angus today ahead of the mega storm. After a false start at Flegere we headed to Grands Montets which yet again delivered the goods. Now we are ready for a lie in and some down-time !

Another great day touring with Matt and Gaz. Today we went to Switzerland where we found perfect snow and just a handful of skiers. #SkiTouring If anyone wants to join a WhatsApp group for guided day tours this winter just send me a message and I’ll add you to the list.

Top touring conditions today at La Flegere #Chamonix. Great to be joined by Rachel Mortimer, James Wheaton and Betony Garner. Looking like early season is going to be pretty busy for Mountain Guides…
