After Charlie tried to give Spongebob the window cleaner to the toll booth man we were allowed into the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Half way through the tunnel barriers and red lights appeared, blocking the route. With a brief recolection on previous issues with the tunnel we were forced to wait for the unknown "obstical" to disapear!
Eventually we were allowed through and were greated by glorious sunshine!
Heading up to the top of the Arp, 2755m, we were greated by untouched snow for as far as the eye could see. Everyone eager to get fresh tracks we ran down the stairs donned skis and hit the the fresh Pow! OR the top 2 cms of fresh pow ontop of sheet ice! A long descent finally put us back on the piste after emerging through a hole in the fence, approx 1200m lower down.
A few HIGH speed runs later, Lunch was calling. With tables mounted on skis it had to be a winner. The Youla led to another back-country route where some fresh tracks or a nicer kind were found, leading into a gully and finally heading back to the bottom of Zerotta for coffees!
Yeah I'm not too sure about the outfits!!
