Tignes - conditions on the glacier, early August
Dreadful. Worst in living memory according the the piste services director there yesterday.
Some photos from last Friday http://tinyurl.com/awmrn and this Monday http://tinyurl.com/be997 (slight improvement). Considerably less snow than usual last winter, combined with high winds whenever it did snow blowing it all off the peaks (much better lower down Jan-March in the Savoie last season), plus a few heatwaves this summer has left the glacier in a sorry state. Article on the (short) future of our glaciers... http://tinyurl.com/az3d6 ("Changes taking place without precedence in the history of the earth") Pete http://MySnowSports.com |
