It is really snowing in Chamonix.  We’ve heard a couple different reports and the snowfall for this time of year has blown past records.  Long time locals have been saying that, they haven’t seen this much in 30 years!  We’ve posted some pictures on facebook taken by our guide in Chamonix.  This is going to be Europe’s big season.  This is the year to do that European Adventure you have always wanted to do.  If watching the snow spray from your powder filled turns while floating past blocks of glacier blue ice is appealing, then jump on the NASTC Chamonix trip in March.  Our guide is a Chamonix local and knows the area better than his own kitchen!  He will take us to some of the best kept secrets, the locals stashes and epic descents.  The Vallee Blanche descent will definitely be on the agenda for the week.  

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Chamonix, it is the birthplace of alpinism and home to the first Winter Olympics in 1924.  It has been a world reknowned winter destination since its early years and has played a strong role in the development of “Le Ski Extreme” a.k.a off-piste skiing.  Chamonix is a charming village with a diverse array of architecture that reflects its past and the different economical and cultural roles of its community. 

Chamonix will entertain you on and off the mountain.  It’s exceptional and abundant terrain will challenge you while stunning you with it awestriking views.  The town offers an active apres ski and nightlife scene, great shopping and beautiful historic builidings to enchant you as you stroll through town in the afternoon.
