Everybody hopes for optimal snow conditions on their ski trip. The best snow conditions result from regular top-ups of snow and cold temperatures. Often the best powder weeks are bad weather weeks and the selection of where to ski is of prime importance.
The 'Miles Group: Chamonix, La Grave week' was just that. Snow every night, mixed weather and tons of powder. Fresh track skiing was enjoyed on all six days.
The skiing standard was extremely high and fast skiing on steep slopes was the prefered style.
Day1: Posettes Couloir, Le Tour
Day2: Grand Envers, Aiguille du Midi
Day3: Val Arpetta, Courmayeur
Day4: Monetier, Serre Chavalier
Day5: Monetier, Serre Chavalier
Day6: La Grave
Here are 6 photos which are representative of the trip.
Le Tour Backcountry. Where are all the people? Coditions were pretty much perfect.
