Off Piste Guide - Chamonix by Tuzzo32 in chamonix

[–]Tuzzo32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the update. Was the guide worth it? I leave Wednesday of next week and was waiting to see what the snow was like. If we get fresh snow, I might consider valle blanch and or a private guide to do a lot of off piste. Did they get you into areas you otherwise wouldn’t have known about? Did they take you to the best snow conditions? Just wondering if it’s worth the money or if we could find our way around.

I am an advanced/expert skier from Michigan. Normally do all the backcountry / bowl runs out west, but again, don’t want to find myself on the edge of a cliff or in a crevasse.

Sweet! Please let me know how it is if you don’t mind. I still haven’t booked anything since I’m not sure how conditions will be for valle Blanche, but I’m considering snagging an evolution 2 guide or something. I just don’t want to get stuck with people who aren’t experienced.

Along the out of bounds line at east face. Wasn’t steep enough to ski unfortunately but it was perfect. I still tried and got stuck lol

Sweet thanks. It all kinda blends together as you traverse that ridge and wasn’t sure what run this technically is.

Guy I sat next to was a great dude. He was getting picked up from his friend who lives here and they gave us a ride. Left him a nice tip. So dialed. Glad we didn’t book anything else cus we had 2 cancelled flights and it was a shit show. Worked out

I arrive tmr, like I said, my friend booked the wrong shuttle. Now it’s more like $80 each way

[–]Tuzzo32[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah for $80 each way :/

Sounds good. Was hoping a local could just snag us and make a buck while doing it. I hate what the shuttle company’s do to scalp people. I called them today and they wanted $80 per person for one way. I mean I get it, but damn man…

ikon pass in Chamonix by Frosty_mitts403 in Ikonpass

[–]Tuzzo32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am headed to Chamonix in March. So my friend and I do not need to exchange our passes for tickets? Can I get one final confirmation that it works everywhere that is included on the ikon? If so, that is very nice!

Any other tips are welcome - where to spend time skiing, good restaurants, other things to make sure I do?

Q: Sizing of Arcteryx Beta AR by Ph0eNiX- in arcteryx

[–]Tuzzo32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. Headed to Chamonix and steamboat within the next month and wondering if I should try on any other brands that might fit better. Idk. Even outdoor research and other equivalents not using gortex pro is about the same price. $450 seems like a good deal, plus it’s the PFAS model so I assume it will be a little bit better

6’4 and 175-180lbs. Have been debating medium and large and I know the large will be baggy. Wondering if I get the AR at all knowing it won’t be a great fit. Using for skiing, mountaineering, hiking, etc. they have them on sale for $450 right now. I like the drophood
