#MacsMoment by Bert Dempsey[/caption] The start of the 2016 season featured snow, and more snow (later in the year than usually expected). The season runs from mid-June to mid-September but you should always bear in mind that the weather has a mind of its own. If you're not comfortable bringing your crampons, aim for later in July or August. [caption id="attachment_20891" align="aligncenter" width="400"] View of the Argentiere Glacier.
#MacsMoment by Tom Singleton[/caption] [caption id="attachment_20887" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Julie Flanagan won August's #MacsMoment prize with this shot at Lac Blanc[/caption] [caption id="attachment_20890" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Expect plenty of jump for joy moments. Thanks to Mel Seale for this particular one.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_20886" align="aligncenter" width="600"] You can't have sunshine all the time, and stormy skies are a beautiful antidote.
Espen Holje's #MacsMoment[/caption] When you need to reconnect with family spread across the globe, we love that Ritsuko Maeda (from Australia) met up with her sister (from Japan) in France to spend time together doing the Tour du Mont Blanc. Adventure reunions are surely the perfect way to connect.
