This Chamonix report is a new weekly report that we’ll be bringing you through our partnership with Seven Twenty Productions out of Chamonix, France. Charlie Boscoe is the man that brings us these high quality reports. Charlie is an expeditions leader originally from the UK who has climbed all over the Alps and lead expeditions in India, Nepal, Africa, Everest, you name it. He lives in Chamonix and keeps his finger on the pulse of Cham’s skiing, rock climbing, and mountaineering conditions (Charlie’s blog).
We’re really looking forward to these weekly reports from the world’s most challenging ski center: Chamonix, France.
