Curry for Breakfast


After a nice lie in and some left over curry, headed over to the GM to meet up with the others, just in time to hit the top station in glorious sunshine!

A lap of "Grand Mur" followed by the "Les Rognons" still had fresh lines to be had. The telemarks shone in the powder, however the rather large cliff drop needs a little work!

A nice crowded home run and we were back at Clive's for Birthday cakes and Biscuits!

Col du Tacul

Powder, Crevasses, more powder and a few beers!

From the Midi a high traverse above the Rognons and head across the crevas field to the bottom of the Italian VB. Stay above the glacier and keep skiers right. Cross the next glacier and skin up the side of it!
An hour up and you reach a large serac/block of ice! Take care as theres a load of crevasses here! Team Sweeden, Sarah, on her snow shoes will testify as we implemented Crevasse rescue 101!
Another hour or so up and you can reach the shoulder below the Col du Tacul!

From here be prepared for A LOT of fresh lines and powder!!!
