Chamonix weekend
It was Russell’s 30th birthday at the weekend so we decided to head to Chamonix to meet with Cathal and Ciaran. The weather was great but it hadn’t snowed in ages, in fact it rained. So first day out we went to Grand Montets to see what was happening. Good conditions for skiing but not so hot for snowboarding. Got a few pics in though
Sunday was a day off for me due to a bloody cold I picked up on Friday. So hung around Chamonix, took a few pics and watched to Munster v Bourgoin rugby game

Tete Merciere Randonne a Neige
Another week without snow, so Helmut and I decided to start out snowshoeing careers. We drove to Isola2000 and after renting shoes we start on out hike to Tete Merciere. It took about 2.5 hours to reach the peak and back down in less than 2. A great day out and despite packing way too much clothes it wasn’t too strenuous. The summit was at 2493m

New Years Hike in Boreon
To get the New Year off to a good start Yvonne and I went for a hike from Boreon. We were hoping to do some snowshoeing but there was not enough snow at 1500m so settled for a small hike
