Goodbye good times of ice and snow.. a very warm period went to melt everything, and it’s lasting at least 1 week more! For the beginning of march it’s possible to see some new snow, but what about the ice? …very few possibilities to climb again, at least for the lines under Gressoney La Trinité…

The beginning of the week was very cold, and we got positive comments even from LOO ice fall (that is at very low altitude). VALDOBBIA, STALLER and JOLANDA were in perfect conditions, and ALPENZU was good as well.
Today (friday) with warmer temperature, BIEL had very “soft” ice..be careful this wekend!!!
Finally! We were waiting for this cold period since weeks.. and now everything is ok! We have direct information about: ALPENZU, VALDOBBIA and STALLER: for this 3 lines in Gressoney Saint Jean the ice is perfect. Still too much water in LOO.
Be careful with the lines like Jolanda, Bonne Année and Ciampa: the spots around V degrees are more difficult than usual because of the thinner ice and because their shape is more vertical then last years.

Hello everybody,
sorry we’re so late about week 4!! In this week we heard about JOLANDA on Wednesday (good conditions and steep) and Cascata della CENTRALE (a small fall in Gressoney St.Jean) done on Tuesday night with the moonlight. During the night it was ok, but the conditions in Gressoney St. Jean were still a little dangerous. In these last days the situation is getting better, LYSBALMA main lines are available again and bright blue.
A suggestion for this weekend (28-29 jan)? Under Gressoney La Trinité level it’s still better to stay in the shadow and wait a couple of days: from monday-according to the weather forecasts- everything should be good.
keep in touch!

After a warm week with spring temperature, yesterday it was cold again 
) -10 during the night in Gressoney St.Jean.
Good conditions from Gressoney La Trinité, expecially with N exposition: Jolanda, Sigarhorror, Thriller 92 looked good at a visual check.
