Half day acclimatisation trip with Rob and Simon from the Skyway lift on the italian side of Mont Blanc. Skied Down the glacier west of the Petit Flambeau but not all the way down to the Glacier du Geant; skinned back up to a saddle on the north ridge of the peak and then walked up the rest of it. Great views and nice to have some light exercise before driving south to the Gran Paradiso.

fresh snow and blue skies to start the week!
