Kingsley from our snowshoe guiding team has just finished a week of work in the Les Contamines valley, and reports excellent conditions at the moment. He writes; “The heavy snowfalls on Friday and Saturday, followed by perfect weather on Sunday, gave one of the best days of snowshoeing I have ever had pre-Christmas. There was quite a range of snow types, but on the Tête d’Armancette plateau we experienced seemingly bottomless powder, as you can see from the photo on the left. I have also uploaded a lot of the photos from the week, so you can see for yourself”. Also check out the newly updated snowshoeing section of the Icicle website (http://www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/snowshoe.htm).
