Finally made it to Chamonix. Shit is crazy. A few pictures to share with you guys.
So I flew into Milan and met up with 3 friends. We loaded the clown car, bought some laundry line and tied our skis to the roof and set off for the Mt. Blanc Tunnel.
Two of us being first timers we had to do the token picture pose from Blizzard of Ahhhhs
Day one easy skin up the Grand Montet, had some lunch sitting skiers left of the Glacier des Rognons before we skied back down.
Day 2 we were off to Les Houches, big day, we summited 3 peaks, ending in some tiny town where we caught a train back to Chamonix, I don't know the name of crap because the mountains are huge the names are confusing and I haven't had time to look shit up yet. A few pics from the day.
The one thing that got me is the sheer size of everything. The pictures don't do any of it justice. These mountains are bigger and steeper than anything I have skied before. Day two we logged 9 miles and 22,000 vert.
I will post more in a bit.
