More Snow in the valley, is this it?

Twin peaks tower above the sea ice and a frozen in place Iceberg, Liverpool land, Greenland.

It's dumping again in the Chamonix valley, however we had a mild spell last week and so most of the snow from the previous snowfall had melted away. I managed to get a couple of great days out on the bike, down the valley in glorious sunshine and 17C temps!

It's obviously got colder again and the forecast looks like its set to keep coming, snow is forecast for the next few days and then again after the weekend.

The Grand Montets was set to open last weekend but the snowpack was deemed to be to thin between 2500m and 2000m and so the opening has been delayed. Maybe this weekend things will be different after this latest storm.

The snow has just stopped falling at the moment and through the office window the Aiguille du Midi has appeared, beautifully white and ghost like against the white storm clouds behind. Very atmospheric and not a bad view for a morning in the office.

I've just updated and put details of the Greenland trip on line www.mcnabsnowboarding.com so check it out.

Check out the faces on these peaks, now that's what I'm talking about! Liverpool land, Greenland.

This trip will be very much a Jeremy Jones 'Deeper' style trip, using the Jones 'Solution' Splitboards to access, explore and ride the massive potential that the east Coast location of Liverpool land has to offer.

A massive amount of riding potential, Liverpool land, Greenland.

24 hour sunlight and endless possibilities. Liverpool land Greenland.


Imagine having an area the size of the Mont Blanc massif with Verbier, Zermatt, Sass fee and the Aosta Valley added on, all this area to yourselves and mostly never snowboarded in, and you're beginning to get the picture.

Winter is a coming, can you feel it?

All is good,

Neil.
