I’m not going well today and about to ski down. The guys blast on and ski from the summit.
Luca coming up. 
I get great snow on the way down before it got hot. About 2 turns in a section 100 m wide ripped above the serac. Would have made a good photo from below.
I promised myself I was going to chill out and get ready to go to the mountains the next day. When I woke up there was a little FOMO going on after the storms of the last 2 days and 15 minutes later I was down at the Midi promising myself I would only go to take photos. But on the ride up it was clearly the Midi May day with snow plastered everywhere and I joined Luca Pandolfi and Mikko Heimonen for a run.
I don’t think anyone had been over the Tournier Spur this year and it had been looking icy until recently so I was pretty nervous hearing the ice under the guy’s boards and had to use axes to get down a 5 m section. A couple more storms and it will be awesome. Apart from this small section we found great snow top to bottom.
Yesterday I was back up the Midi for some more North Face action, this time on the Mallory. Tom Grant, Bird and myself teamed up with Mika Merikanto and Niko Palo for this Chamonix test piece. Thanks guys for a mind blowing run!

Bird Early, not so early and a bit hungover, stoked to join us and on the catch up.
Shaeffer finding the Midi North Face clears a hangover in less than 5 turns.
Happy days, Lotz o banter.

Bird skiing ice glazed crap in flat light while its snowing. Some rain would have softened it up!

Delighted at the prospect of a cold one!
Thanks for a fun day guys – Bird Early, Cedric Bernardini, Brett Lotz.
The 20% forecast with Foehn today was just good enough to ski a Cosmique. Its well filled in now and you can sidestep in a few metres at the top before skiing – no more rope faff! Definitely a nice relaxed Sunday run.
