Chamonix & Verbier 2025

[mute1080]

Currently sitting at a wine bar in Chamonix after 19 hours of travel with no issues. Philly direct to Zurich, train to Geneva, bus to Chamonix, walk. Stopped in the Black Crows store and even though I didn’t buy anything, my new skis were on display in their window and I smiled.

Caesar salad at Geneva airport waiting for the bus, charcuterie in chx.

The plan is Les Grand Montets tomorrow and then Verbier for 3 days. Maybe Zermatt for the last day.

Amazing! Have the best time!  Looking forward to reports and pictures. I thought it was such a cool town and would definitely love to return sometime.

On the train to Martigny then 1 transfer to Verbier.

I did a good job hydrating while traveling so I'd be ready to ski and threw it all away party rocking late night in Cham. YOLO

We planned to let the snow soften up anyway so it worked out. Grabbed a full bus around 11 and was lucky to get a seat. For as warm as it is in town, the snow was nice fluffy chalk up high. Groomers had some skied off spots but we were off piste almost the whole time. Some north facing slops had better soft snow but only found a couple of those zones. Stopped at Plan Joran for bite and beer(have to get back on the horse sometime right?). We talked about doing a skin tour skiers right but we were pushing time to catch our train so we split to get some laps. Still took the rocky traverse across to check it out before they headed up. Did a top(ish) to bottom for the last lap and the legs were screaming. Watch said we finished with a little over 15k vert.

Verb tomorrow and mad hungry as it's 8 pm and haven't had dinner yet.
