This week has seen great conditions for the Intro Ski Touring & Backcountry course in Chamonix, as seen here on the descent from Grands Montets to the Argentiere glacier. The week provides a mixture of ski touring and off piste skiing, so you get the best of both worlds. Our groups skied the Italian bowl of the Vallee Blanche today, and we always try to ensure you ski some of the famous classics, such as this descent, during the week.

The next Intro Touring & Backcountry course date on which we have space is the 17-23 February 2013, and there are just two spaces left. For the course itinerary and details, click here.
