Hi all, we had 750mm of snow on the 21st April - yippee
Randonee season is in full swing, so after the snow I decided to walk from the crest hotel to the top, yes a lone crusader making his own tracks through the deep snow. Well me and the animal tracks (It was not the Europeon Brown Bear - thank god)
It was eventful but took forever ploughing through the new stuff. I was totally stuffed by the top.
Everywhere was white, very white even the valley of death was white!!
Attached are a few pics of the area, even watched an avalanche rubble to the side of me, glad i decided not to be there! even though it was a route choice.
run back was great to the Obelix then snow got heavy, then really heavy!
due for more snow today 28.4 we shall wait and see
all the best
Marcus
