Day 245

Last day in Chamonix, and it snowed heavily for most of the day. Not a great day to be trying to kill six hours while waiting for the transfer back to the airport. Somewhere in that cloud is Mont Blanc.

Day 244

Oh what a miserable day: raining steadily, with heavy cloud on the mountain. Confined to quarters I am, listening to the rain on the roof and giving thanks that I brought an extra book.

Day 243

Penultimate day in Chamonix, and a shining example of how your worst day on the snow is still better than your best day at work. Equipment failure and clouds conspired against us, but it's still better than work!

Day 242

Early start this morning, and Chamonix is spooky and shrouded in mist.

Day 241

A cloudy day today in Chamonix, so the resort of choice was down at the bottom of the valley amongst the trees. The forest always looks magical coated in snow like it was today.

Day 240

Day two in Chamonix and a lot of snow fell overnight, thus necessitating an early start to take advantage of the untracked powder. This is the shadow of an otherwise empty chairlift.

Day 239

First day in Chamonix, and an excellent day on perfect powder. The wind blew in though in the afternoon, and it seems it blew away all hopes of connecting to the apartment's free wifi.
