Darren scores shot of the day! Col du Beaugean today!Its been a fantastic week with fresh snowfall early on setting everything up nicely for all the groups, Keith's Off piste tech clinic, Ralf's Backcountry Freeride group and my Advanced Backcountry freeride Group.
After our great day on the Grandes Montets on Wednesday -
Darren gets deep on the Grandes Montets
Cameron on Glacier Lognan.
Andy kicks up some powder, Glacier Lognan.- Thursday saw us heading up the Valley Blanche for a run down the Grandes Envers which entails a traverse along the Midi Plan ridge towards Col Du Plan which is where you drop into the Envers.
Darren shoulder deep in it - Grandes EnversThe Snow was amazingly deep, sometimes up to your waist on the steep pitches making for some amazing riding in a beautiful and exciting environment.
Andy in the Envers - Valley BlancheWe finished the day with a quick descent of the Combe du Glaciers off Plan d'Aiguille.
The same day Ralf's group did a quick descent of Pas du Chevre and a Grand Envers to finish.
Friday gave us amazing conditions, perfect weather and some amazing snow hidden away on the North facing slopes.
Ralf headed off for a descent of the Glacier Marbre off the Helbronner. Keith took the Off Piste group for a Touring day heading from Brevent over to the Aiguillette des Houches and a descent of the Varcours Couloir whilst I headed off for a Col du Beaugean in the Aiguilles Rouges.
This is one of my favourite tours in the Aiguilles Rouges with a bit of everything thrown in. A big touring day, some rock scrambling, abseilling or down climbing and of course some amazing powder, this was for sure our best day of the week!
