We where out in nice sunny weather although its turned a bit colder in the valley in the last couple of days. Coming off the top of the Grand Montets to the left gives some good ski options although the actual droop over is a fit icy and rutted but below is very nice snow still.

We headed to the right of the Rognon where there are a few holes but the area is well tracked out and gives some very nice skiing down. Various people where heading down and some skinning towards the Argentiere hut.

The lower you go at the moment the snow starts to thin and a few rocks appear. The lower part of the Argentiere glacier is still not that well covered although you can find your way around the sides.

Looks like some more snow is on the way just after the turn of the year. Happy New Year in the meantime.
