Chamonix opening day 19th Novemebr 2016!

Its been quite a few years since Chamonix has been able to open for skiing during the month of November, however, thats exactly what happened today, 19th Novemebr 2016.

Not only did Grand Montets open but the conditions were exceptional.  Chamonix valley has had a number of storms blow through over the last couple of weeks and all have been providing snow above the valley floor, and sometimes down to 300m altitude.

There has never been a better time to think about coming out to the Alps for an early ski before the Xmas madness begins.
