I know it’s April, but it’s not time to hang up your snowshoes for the season yet! This photo was taken yesterday in the Berard valley whilst leading a group up to Les Granges, and it shows the good snow cover still around. In the late afternoon it’s getting a little slushy low down, but from 1500m and above the conditions are still great. The other benefit is that things have quietened down in Chamonix a bit now, as the French holiday season is over.
