I certainly had a good couple of weeks in Flaine at the end of
January, though the weather promised rather more powder than it
delivered, which as a slight shame because I was doing an SCGB
Freshtracks course on the second week. Still, our instructors found
enough powder for us to fall over in.

Jann has always had the knack, or more accurately the knowledge, of
finding the best snow around. He and Regis, who used to work together,
gained an unequalled reputation for solid instruction with the best
fun. Regis gave it up three or four year ago, but from all I've heard,
Dianne has picked up where he left off and continues to please.

Hope you enjoyed it - next year maybe you'll feel up to a proper
mountain-guided trip?
