Final pictures from my trip to Chamonix

So when the sun shines on the mountain it can be warm and relaxing, but when it is cloudy and snowy you get a frosty beard 0_o

The views can be quite spectacular though, looking out towards other mountain ranges

You can quickly head off the marked pistes into areas between for deeper snow

Sometimes a brief pause is needed, the slope above is steeper then it looks - my snowboard is wedged into the snow to stop me sliding away down the slope

Well, shut my mouth! These are absolutely fabulous!!! Thank you to Paul @old-guy-photos for passing your name along to me!

They are all my favorite, but the selfie really rocks my soul.

Upvoted and Resteemed

You are too kind, thank you for the vote and resteem. Paul is a good man, he sent me this way and was absolutely right - lot's of friendly people with varied and interesting content to share.

I love the feel of it and it seems that most are so friendly and - yes- interesting as we merge our cultures with one another. I do a challenge called #MarketFriday and people post their markets days from all over the world. Oh, there was one last week that had all insects in huge baskets.

At any rate, it is a learning experience and I just love it. I hope you will partake a few of the challenges once you get settled and see what you are interested in. There are more challenges than the ones that were given to you, but, I will update my list this week and add a few more of the nature ones. I didn't want to scare anyone off with them all, but, I may start to link them on each post instead.

Again- Welcome and let us know if you need anything! Did Paul tell you to join the #minnowsupport? Very helpful!

Excellent post! 100% upvote and resteemed. I loved the selfie with the icy beard lol. Such amazing scenery!

Thanks Paul, you might have noticed I "Discovered" Steemit at the weekend - or at least finally worked out what I was going to do with it. Especially photos - I have 100's of good ones taken over the years sat in my iCloud account when other people could enjoy them.

Great photos. Looks pretty cold up there.
