| Chadders doing what he does best....looking cool. |
The trip started with a random meeting of Chadders in the airport, at 6am in the morning we didnt make much chat but we did agree we would Ski in the afternoon when we got to Chamonix. After feeling a little more awake we grabed our kit and hit the Grand Montet, bumping into Andy Nelson, Mike Brownlow and Kenny Grant. We had a great day hitting the off piste from the lifts and a perfect warm up for me.

From Cham, I hooked up with School friend Kirby and Ali for 3 days in the Ecrin. Conditions started pretty wild but soon improved form white out and windy one day, clear but windy the second then calm and clear the third day. Perfect!

| Proper windy, no ridges today! |
 |
| Clam and clear...climbing, ridges and steep descents on ski's. |

From the Ecrin, we headed back to Chamonix and were based there for the rest of my trip. From here I did several day tours seeking out some great snow, steep descents and some great summits.
