With some snow on the mountains opposite and a chill in the air some people are starting to talk about next season. I always feel that unseasonal snowfall is a bad omen though. Personally I’m not expecting to get the skis out before November at the earliest although TV Mountain’s 6 month forecast is for a cold but dryish start to winter :-(
I took these photos from the back garden
Glacier du Freydane/Belledonne range
It is rare to see snow still in the couloirs of the Rocher de l’Homme. Great touring spot.
Here is the TV Mountain long range forecast:-
