Chamonix April 2009 Part 2

A week in Whistler Chamonix and true to form not a flake of new snow fell. However with beautiful sunny skies and warm alpine temperatures a good week was still had...

View from Flegere... Ian, PB, Jon & Phil with Mt Blanc in the background...


  


Mont Blanc...



Anyone say 'YMCA'?...


 


Nic dreams of the Floria drag lift...


 

The stick...


 

The stick (again)...


 
Self indulgence...


 

Phil looking casual...




Phil, nuts-deep in the fresh 'pow'?...




The Green Goddess limbers up behind Nic... fortunately the leotard was left at home... 



Jon & Nic...

 

For some unusual reason I sink deeper than Phil... must be softer snow... (Vallee Blanche, Mer de Glace exit in the background)...


 


A wander into the off piste at Flegere leads us into a bit of a cul de sac... the area to the left is where I stylishly rode the rocks & grass on my backside...


 


Ian and Jon clamber down, while Nic & Phil look on from above, eagerly awaiting the trip down...


 

We could just throw a board down rather than carry it?
