April Powder

This is the ski season which keeps on giving. April is always good here in Chamonix. It’s high enough above sea level that April showers fall as snow. And it’s been snowing for a week.

A break in the cloud yesterday gave us an almost blue sky powder day. Shame it was a Saturday, though - it meant Grande Montets was busy. No queues for the bochard or herse, but no chance of getting up the top lift without a reservation. Unlike during the week at the moment, when it’s possible to walk straight onto the next lift. I love this time of year for that. Laps off the top. A veryagreeable way to spend a morning. An even better way? heliskiing. Hopefully the weather will hold for tomorrow’s Ice Hot Alpine end of season heliwopper trip.
