Some friends and I went to Chamonix this year for 4 days of snowboarding and skiing. Turns out it’s not the cheapest of resorts if you like a few heavy nights out (as we did) but the conditions were very good considering the comparative lack of snow on previous years. Beautiful scenery in the shadow of Mont Blanc too as I’m sure you’ll agree!

Looks too damn cold to me.
As my father (former army officer) always says: “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only an inappropriate choice of clothing!”. That said it did get a bit chilly in the wind!
Beautiful scenery John. Looks like you had a great time!
