I was planning on heading up to the dibona to climb the madier route or visite obligatoire tomorrow. Just noticed that few ascents are logged before July. Am i likely to find snow at the start of the routes or on the descent. Would be annoying to hike up there and find a load of snow as we're not really set up to deal with it. Cheers.

James, 

We were there last Wed-Thu. There was snow from below the Soreillier hut all the way up to the descent from the back of Aiguille.  You definitely needed decent shoes/boots and crampons for the descent and very useful to get to the start of the route.  I assume the hot weather has continued and the snow may have receded but I dont think it will all have disappeared.   Have you tried calling hut? 

Best of luck, looked lovely
