It's mid September and there is change in the air, things are not looking so summery any more



The Midi ridge is always intimidating when you've been away for a while.



Tomoko is as eager as ever to take pictures



Even if I am looking a little rough around the edges



Anyway time to start skiing





Tomoko enjoying her turns



Time to pay the piper and skin back up



Well my hemp reinforced skis still work fine after 2 and a half months of sitting in a dark corner - really must scrape off all the skin glue and wax them before I ski them again.

Not a bad view from the window of my temporary accommodation

Great!
I'll be down in C. in a couple of months! With new skis(hopefully)!

Wow great pics! I'm still 3 months away from carving any turns.

I've only been to Chamonix once, 6 years ago in the summer. I didn't have skis with me, so I just did a bunch of hiking up there, Aiguille du Midi is easily on my top 5 list of most beautiful places I've ever been.

Beautiful photos! I'm jealous!

im going to chamonix on january 21st. plane tickets booked since start of summer. hope fully skiing on my own pressed skis.

great shots. Thanks for sharing. I am always impressed with the alps and I doubt the pics do justice.

Away from the crowds - gotta be the way to go! Always good to see the snow
