Another amazing Heli day, deep fresh all the way!

Woke up to blue skies and perfect conditions and a heli booked for a morning drop on the Plateau du Trient, what more could you want?

A smooth flight found us all alone on the Trient plateau. Once again no tracks lead the way up to our lunch spot below the Aig du Tour and so a bit of trail breaking was needed. Today Ralf was up there joining us with his BC Freeride Group and so I shared the trail breaking with him and one of his group Adam who is out here doing the season.

Ralf's team take a turn at the front with Adam in the lead.

My BC Intro team, Jo, Simon, Gavin and David.

We made light work of it as a team, had a look into a few monster crecasses on route and had lunch looking out over the beautiful peaks on the horizon such as the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn and the Dent Blanche.

After our stop we readied ourselves for some steep and deep untracked powder riding. With some 2000m of untouched vertical descent awaiting us we headed off, my group towards Glacier Midi Des Grandes whilst Ralf took his guys over to the steep Couloir Nord du Pissoir. Having checked out all the options on the flight up we knew that everywhere was going to be good and with no tracks anywhere on the mountain we were once again spoilt for choice.

Gav starts the big descent heading down Glacier Midi Des Grandes.

Once again Jo is a contender for shot of the day as she heads onto the steeps in full flight.

Simon makes his bid for shot of the day with this beautiful deep backside turn in full flow.

We got some great video footage too so that will join my other footage from pervious weeks which I'm trying to find time to edit into a best off the season so far vid. So much footage to sort through though this season as every day has been amazing.

What a season, it just seems to get better and better and more snow is due next week!!!

Going to do a big tour tomorrow in the Aiguille Rouge, a col du Belevedere I think, a nice hike up to a beautiful col above the frozen Lac Blanc. A 60 meter abseill down the other side and a great powder decsent awaits.

Work, work and more work that's all I seem to do!

Neil.
