Unbelievable snowfall in Chamonix
By Chalet la Foret • Jan 25th, 2009 • Category: Lead story
With the new snowfall being measured in metres, conditions are probably the best we have ever seen in Chamonix, with well over a metre in the chalet garden! We caught one of the first lifts to the top of the Grands Montets and were rewarded with enormous fields of powder…
That’s what I like to see!

In the powder – it was thigh deep in places…
Happy days!

Finally, these were conditions the same day at Brevent, where WhiteDot Freeride were testing their skis – many thanks for their permission to show this fantastic photo!
Chalet la Forêt is a beautiful mountain home, close to the Flegere ski lift in Chamonix.
