Off-piste Skiing & Ski Touring March 2012

By Mountainspirit @Mountain_Guides

A typical month of March have passed, which means you get the full spectrum of off-piste and ski mountaineering experiences. The valley turned to spring and we skied corn snow on south faces, while north faces still offered powder skiing.

Chamonix Ski Report

As Chamonix did not get the most out of the few dumps there were in the western Alps in March, it has been ski touring most days except for a few powder-days off the lifts. However, after a bigger snow fall in mid-March the snow stayed cold and soft on the north sides for the rest of the month and the snow cover still reaches to the valley floor for the end of our ski tours.
