Happy New Year! It has been a very happy new year in Chamonix, France. We have skied blower powder for the past week! All of the ski areas are open, and we are even able to ski from the top of the Aiguille du Midi right now. It looks like it will be a great year.

It snowed over 1 meter last week, and storms keep heading our way. This has been one of the greatest winters I can remember. We have been skiing great untracked powder runs every day. All of the big couloirs are filled down to the river. A lot of the runs that normally require the use of the rope have so much snow that you can just link turns through the technical cruxes. It is amazing. This is not a winter to miss.
