My alpine trip has been cut short after a silly accident on an easy piste. I cut my leg with a ski edge and chopped my medial ligament in half so it'll be a month or two before I'm back in action by the looks of it...

Valley Blanche
We skied the Valley Blanche today by the Envers Route. The route was untracked and we were the first down, there was good cover and crevasses seemed reasonably well filled in. The fixed line was minimal on the arete so care and crampons needed. We skied all the way to Chamonix but the bottom of the glacier was very rocky, probably best to get the bubble up to the Montenvers. Spectacular Day.
