Our guides are reporting ‘dream conditions’ on Mont Blanc today, with a group of 17 in Team Icicle heading up the mountain. The snow has settled very well, and the weather and wind look perfect for summits today and tomorrow. The traverse route from the Aiguille du Midi is still dangerously loaded with fresh snow which is avalanche prone, and so all our team is heading up the Gouter route. BMG mountain guide Mark Seaton reports current snow conditions at the Gouter hut as ‘like cork’. Good luck to all our groups on the mountain, and best wishes for a safe summit and descent. http://www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/mont%2Bblanc%2Bguide%2Bcourse.html
