How things can change, we were riding our bikes two days ago and now there is at least 10cm of snow covering our car-park and the snow is still coming down hard and fast.
With temperatures set to stay below 0 degrees for the next few days and snow on the forecast all day tomorrow, this could be the beginning.
A useful link for current weather webcams from our friends over at chamonix.net is below.
A mountaineer recently discovered a box of hidden treasure on the Glacier des Bossons, He stumbled across the box which contained rubies, emerlands and sapphires while crossing over the Glacier.
The climber decided to hand the jewels over to local authorities after he noticed the jewels were contained in bags with ‘Made in India’ printed on them.
Its not the first time pieces of aircraft have been found on the Glacier des Bossons, in-fact, some local residents frequently find pieces of the stricken Air India plans that crashed on Mont-Blanc in 1950 and 1966.
If no-one claims the jewels they could become the property of the lucky mountaineer, who would then become around €250,000 richer!
Policing of the “normal” route and Trois mont-Blanc route on Mont-Blanc will now go 
ahead for this coming summer climbing season 2013.
From June through to September police will be placed on two very popular climbing routes to inform and, when necessary prevent people attempting Mont Blanc.
They will mostly be present in two places: the Col du Midi and the Tete Rousse hut. They are being placed there to educate climbers and give advice for a successful summit attempt. They will look at equipment, peoples fitness, weather and other factors.
The only place where is it permited to bivouac is at the Tête Rousse, where there is a designated camping area.
