Chamonix is easy to want and hard to ski well. The terrain is big, high, and glaciated, and the snow changes by the hour. Locals don’t pick a line a week out—they pick a zone the morning of, and the week falls into place from there. This free live conversation is about how that works. Yann Delevaux has guided the Mont Blanc massif for more than 20 years as an IFMGA mountain guide. He’ll walk through how he reads conditions, why Chamonix sits at the corner of three countries’ worth of terrain, and the lines he keeps coming back to. Josh Cohen, Product Manager at FACTION, will explain what Alpine terrain like this asks of a ski, how FACTION designs for it, and which skis he’d bring for each type of day. You’ll leave with the local beta that usually takes years to learn, and a clear idea of the quiver to ski it.
