Guide not necessary however at this point in the season you’re skiing right after fresh dump and only until 11 and just to mid station. Plan on being there early to get your 3-4 laps in before...

Depends on how motivated you are. If you’re willing to tour and deal with some manky exits I’d imagine you’ll find plenty of good lines. Rond and cosi I bet will be good to the mid station

You should expect to be in Val thorens on April 1st... It's spring time and over 2 weeks away it could be powder it could be mank, it could be perfect corn. In all likely hood it will be all of the...

JT was the snow light still? We rode down from the pavillion yesterday in the afternoon and the snow was wet and heavy on the ne aspects pretty much from the start. But the snow on the cables and...

This is what the snow should look like when you ski at flegere

Snows all baked on the flegere side... Sounds like this your first time in Cham? What kind of camera are you shooting with and are you more interested in skiing or shooting?

Couple of close calls at the hellbronner yesterday and today.

Today I watched someone go for a big ride down the main gully where the avi fences are below the pavillion. I was standing on the...

I hear ya but you just named the 3 biggest resorts in the alps, there are plenty of steep quite resorts which do not get blown out by Brittish tourons. there are over 300 resorts in switzerland...

pic du midi de bigorre has the best steep skiing in the pyrenees. But why the pyrenees when you could live in the alps? I would say the spanish side of the pyrenees is more interesting culturally...

Today did not suck somewhere in the mont Blanc massif :)

That looks aweful Arash :) I think im gonna cancel my trip because there obviously isnt anything fun to do in cham this winter. See ya next week!

Ya you should probably goto japan, or learn how to use google search and then depending on your reading comprehension you might realize that the western alps are about to get a meter this week and...

flying into geneva on thursday and heading down to cham to meet friends for a bit. Any ideas of where the snow is currently falling in the alps? Looks to be the austrian/italian boarder but shout it...

Why bother going to chamonix if your planing on skiing groomers? have you looked into other more family oriented resorts? No reason to go to one of the steepest parts of the alps to ride flat...

Good move! I am thinking about extending my trip too! After riding deep blower for the past two weeks, the thought of going back to squaw is unbearable... watch out... you will never want to go...
