Tons of snow in the Alps!

"We didn't have to go far to find fantastic skiing on La Meije, just two minutes from our apartment. We skied one run from 3200m down and across to the second lift station at 2400m to pick up the gondola back to the the top. Another run took us down the Vallons de la Meije and through the forest to the lower lift station at 1800m then back up again for a final run all the way down to La Grave..."

Fantastic weather and snow cover in the Alps with great skiing in Les Deux Alpes, Alpe d'Huez and La Meije! Given the superb weather and snow over the past week it's also surprisingly quiet which is great for us!

Tomorrow for a change and to rest our legs we'll be going ice climbing. 

Although choice is limited in La Grave and conditions thinner than normal there's still plenty of good thick ice to climb in the area and in Alp d'Huez...
