| Adam Symes with the Chamonix mountains . |
When you know the conditions are good it makes sense to return. This was my thried trip to the mega resort of Liddes in a week. It is about an hours drive from Chamonix but worth it.
Adam Symes and I used the chair followed by the T Bar to help catapult us on our ski tour to the summit of . There had been about 20cm of fresh snow overnight and I was thankful that someone else had ploughed the skinning track.
Our goal was the summit of the Bec Ronde, normally a straight forward ascent, but there was still a section where we need to take our skis of to negociate some underlying loose rock. We summitted at linch time which also coincided withe the wind dropping and so we were able to eat our sandwiches and take in the marvellous 360degree panorama.

After our picnic we skied back more or the less the way we had come through some good but frequently challanging snow. Afterwhich we spent the rest of the afternoon skiing off piste from the lift system.
Before driving home we visited Liddes unique Fondue cheese vending machine. Highly recommended for the best Fondue cheese in Switzerland [therefore probably in the world?]
