Er, yes. It’s been snowing again just above Ruinettes. So I went up and had a wander around – it’s rather nice, if chilly. And the higher you go the more snow there is, until you get to Col des Gentianes where there are a good few inches.

But whilst it’s a bit of a weird concept to get snow in the summer, it’s not that odd here. Although not exactly welcome.

Oh, and they’re clearly busy blowing things up on the track from Cabane Mont Fort to LA Chaux, as there are lots of warning signs as well as diagrams of what explosions look like (for walkers with poor imaginations I suppose…).

Did you take a cheeky shortcut through the off-piste at Lac des Vaux last winter and lose a ski? Well, Mike’s just found a very lonely 174 Stokli GS ski up there…

Looks like it’s been snowing up top and it’s chilly as you like in town…

It snowed last night in Verbier. Perhaps we should hang around at Medran with our skis waiting for the lifts to open at 9…

Mike’s update from the bottom of Mont Gele:

Rich and Gina have made it to Lands End from John o’ Groats. About 900 miles or so of cycling, mostly it seems in the rain. Anyway, we’ll blog the full story soon, until now have a look at this…

Oh, one more thing. If you’d like to give something to support, please, please, please click here. It’s for Oli’s Ski Fund which is a charity to help a young lad with Cerebral Palsy. We wrote about it here if you’d like to learn more.
