Return of the chill factor

Temperatures returned to to below freezing during the night and the forecast is for cold and sunny weather over the next few days. In preparation for more Chamonix valley ski areas opening this weekend they have taken advantage of freezing temperatures by running the snow cannons over night in order to replenish snow on the lower slops that was washed away by the rain during the week. Todays ski tour at Le Tour will recce the conditions higher up... report back tomorrow.
