A day on the Vallee Blanche, a classic 20km ski descent down high-altitude glaciers, and finally through forests all the way down to Chamonix from the summit of the Aiguille du Midi at 3,840m.
Dave getting set on the initial section off the Midi arete above the Col du Midi
Looking across to the Dent du Geant on the upper section
Dave shredding one of the few steep sections
Descending into the Requin icefall
Beneath the dangers of the icefall, and into the long slide down to the Mer de Glace
Dave emerging from the hike up from the snout of the Mer de Glace. Only the ski down through the trees of the 'James Bond' track to Chamonix remaining
The Petit Dru resplendent in midwinter sun
