Off-piste skiing around Chamonix is not tracked out as soon as you'd expect with the amount of skiers there. If you know the area very well and are prepared to hike a bit there is fresh powder to be found a week after snowfall. If not so familiar with the area, snow conditions and avalanche safety, hire a guide for a few days.
