Had similar conditions when I went on the famous midi two years ago. I think it's actually safer with conditions like this season. But still scary as ****. As the guy writes in his blog: "“The north face of Aiguille du Plan is not really a ski, it’s more of a mind game where problem solving and keeping one’s cool is much more important than the actual skiing." So true. Nerves of steel is all you need, skiing technique can be mediocre. :D
