Chamonix Snow Report : 19th January 2012

TDDSR: Freeride World Tour returns to Chamonix; great conditions expected

Imprint
Updated

We have had glorious sunshine all week here in Chamonix and the skiing in Brevent, Flegere and the Grands Montets has been brilliant.

Most of the off piste has been heavily tracked out since last weekend and the high winds of last Saturday have left much of the snow hard and crusty. Luckily, though, we have a fresh dump coming in this weekend so the snow should be in great condition for the Freeride World Tour which arrives in town on the 21st.
