Top bin fun at Grands Montets

A sunny break amid unsettled weather

featured in Snow report Author Greg van der Donk, Chamonix Contributor Updated

Up at Grands Montets again, it was surprisingly tracked given how much precipitation we had the previous day. Skiing a few laps lower down we managed to get on an 11:15 bin to see what the top was like.

We found great cold snow, everything was fairly tracked out but it still soft. We're expecting a lot more snow over the next few days, so things should stay pretty wintery around the ski areas.

Avalanche risk was 4/5 which is high. With changing temperatures and continuing precipitation it is likely to remain high. Make sure you check the latest bulletin before venturing off-piste and if in any doubt about routes, conditions or your abilities hiring a guide is the safest way to enjoy the mountains.
