Chamonix and the Alps

The Alps started the season with copious and frequent early season snowfalls. However, there has been no snow for a month. Instead, there have been long stetches of sunny, warm weather, and settled snow conditions. Of course, my wildest fear is that we get over there, the weather turns, and we have two weeks of non-stop storms. (This is similar to what happened in the early 1990s when I went across the big pond ... All I can say was that we did not get any climbing in but we skied unbelievable powder ... Not a bad trade-off I guess.)
