How to ski glaciers safely!


Emily: A few weeks ago I got the chance to feature in a film advising people how to ski glaciers safely. The filming took place on the Aiguille du Midi and the Petit Envers route of the Vallee Blanche. Simon Christy was filming and Simon Abrahams and Andy Perkins, both IFMGA Guides, were co-ordinating and looking after safety aspects. Tom Wilson-North was there as token boarder and managed to take these some nice photos, including the one above, on his Iphone! It was a great day and I learnt a lot of information relevant for Alaska, where we will spend several weeks travelling and camping on glaciers. We look forward to seeing the film soon - there will be a link here to see it on YouTube as soon as it's ready.
