Heading over to Italy - windblown snow
Huge crevasses out there around Mont Blanc
Changing to skins in the middle of the Vallee Blanche
Helbronner lift being rebuilt
The descent from Italy to France

Its snowing once again today, some really light fluffy snowflakes this morning, and about 10-20 centimetres of it overnight. On the piste was great today, some of them having been groomed early in the night, with the new fluff lying on the top. The sun should make a return tomorrow for the weekend.

Yesterday I went ski touring from the Aiguille du Midi, over to the Italian side and back down to the Montenvers train. The wind had done a lot of damage to Wednesday's nice powder snow, but there were some good turns, and it was a good day to get some excercise before the cloud came in, especially in such an amazing scenic amphitheatre as the Mont Blanc Massif.
