Review of the 2009/2010 Winter conditions in the French Mountains

If you only listened to the mainstream press you would have the impression of a very hard winter: trains frozen in the Channel Tunnel, major highways all but impassible, ski lifts buried under snow and avalanches causing death and destruction from Scotland to Italy. With the climategate scandal you might also start to believe that global warming was just a figment of publicity hungry scientists’ imaginations. However French ski tourers had a feeling of a short winter, with very poor weather and, here they’ll agree with the media, dangerous snow conditions. With the deaths of Olivier Cordeuil and Nicolas Wirsching, Grenoble lost two of the creme of its steep skiing community to avalanches.
