Skiing, skiing and more skiing! On Saturday we spent the day skiing off piste at the Grands Montets which is a great place to get technique nailed whilst still using the lifts! Yesterday we headed for St Gervais to do a day tour to the Col de la Fenetre but it was raining and very cloudy when we arrived so we ended up skiing on the piste in the rain!
Today was much more what we have come to expect from the weather with clear blue skies, sunshine and no wind once more. Bryn and I enjoyed another day tour on the Aiguille Rouge. We used the uplift at Flegere and then skinned up to the Col de Crouches which got progressively steeper towards the top but was on nice soft snow. We then dropped into the other side and did a long traverse on icey snow before putting skins back on making our way up to the Cold de Berard. At this point the clouds had built up a bit giving slightly flat light.
The descent was down the Berard bowl which gave some nice spring snow lower down and a ski through the trees back down to the village of Le Buet giving 1430m of descent. Once we reached the village for lunch the clouds cleared again allowing a spot of sunbathing! A great day out.
