Skiing late in the season gives a strange
feeling. In the valleys spring is here, flowers,
smells and desire for summer activities. At this
time of the year, you may forget that spring snow
is one of the most enjoyable, smooth and safe, and
just forget skiing. With 4°C this morning in
Chamonix, we had the guarantee for a nice way up
with the skins, and a perfect snow on the way down.
We were not by ourselves today, but I guess all of
us felt like the mountain was for each of us.

A winter snow for a spring day.
Every year we have such good surprises. We
started in the clouds, trying to get a chance
for an exceptional descent. Perfect conditions
are still better when it comes after a moment
of doubt... The Black valley is the name for
the right bank of the Vallée Blanche ; it is
usually quite dangerous for its crevasses, but
it happened to be very safe this winter, due
to the changes in the glacier.
