We’ve had a fair amount of new snow along with more wind than we would of liked. The Powder is nice when you can find it. But more often than not it’s a windblown mess.
The Pas du Chevre off the Grand Montets was nice followed by a lap off the Midi down the Grand Envers
I haven't been very active on the hill or on here this winter due to work. So I thought I'd post a few pics.
My buddie john on the Arette, back befor they put the handrails up.
Jonno finding some Pow in the Pas du Chevre above the Mer du Glace
The Pas du Chevre from below
From the end of the arette looking down into the Valley Blanche...oh and some nice planks
The Aiguille Verte trying to escape from / hide in the clouds.
Tomos finding some untouched on the lower Evers Glacier.

Nice pic stoke as always Tom.
Is more snow in the forecast right now? I'm asking since I consider hitting Verbier with my bro instead of Stanton from this weekend on so it would be an easy swing-by.
BTW was cool to meet up with you a month ago.
