This weekend sees another Chamonix Off Piste week starting, and a Zermatt Backcountry week end. There’s loads of snow across the Alps, but the conditions are tricky in places, due to the effects of the wind, deep powder, and wet snow below the trees. With these conditions, we have ensured that the guides leading these courses have been dual qualified as IFMGA mountain guides who are also ski instructors too, in order to give you the best tips on how to improve in the conditions. This week Paolo is leading our Chamonix group, who is a IFMGA Guide and BASI instructor.
