Chamonix Snow Report: 13th March 2014
Variable snow conditions with warm sunny afternoons in Chamonix
As the sun continues to shine across the Chamonix valley and the temperatures creep up, there is is some fine spring skiing to be had in Chamonix.
With 59 out of 60 lifts open there is no shortage of pistes to ski on, the snow depth at the top of Grands Montets (3275m) is 245cm,
250cm at the top of Index (2385 m), 125cm at Brevent (2525 m), 170cm at Balme (2270 m) and 140cm up at Le Prarion (1853 m) - so all in all still looking pretty good.
Lorne has been practising his freestyle side on the Grands Montets park which was starting to slow down in the afternoon so advises getting up there earlier on.

Charlie went up the Aiguille du Midi to go and ski the Breche du Carabinier, beneath the Grand Capucin.
"The snow was weird and crusty at the top so we stuck in the side slipping tracks that a previous party had left for the first 20 metres or so and then started making turns where it opened up. Once out of the top section the snow was brilliant corn and really fun to ski."

Down in resort there is plenty of apres ski to keep the legs moving once you're off the piste, just check out the What's On calendar for all the details.
