Fattwins 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Rain the dreaded rain to 1700 meters! The only thing you can do is hike I guess! Climb we did! Climbed to 2200 meters on Saturday to run a south facing line down to 47. A respectable climb that only took us 1 hour to get 400 meters of vertical. It is more of a slog across than up. Anyways the frist section was bang on great skiing! about 10 cms of fresh wet from the day before. 1300 plus vertical meters of sking and then a beer at 47 on the patio! Hiking shots first Me and Mr.Chuckles Standing on top of the first line planning the way in to avoid a wind load. Then some line shots! The line from the bottom. Missed timed the second line. Too warm basically and the south facing sides were releasing to the ground. Skied the line quickly and got the heck out of dodge! The second line Dan trying to rip a bit of the upper crust. Line 2 Hike to 2300 meters and ski a backside with wind blown powder. Ended up scoring huge getting 700 plus meters of powder. The 2.5 km run out the valley was perfect corn snow as well! The line The powder It was light too look at the dust! Some run out pics Up the valley being stupid and having fun Down the valley What do you do when you dont have poles? You become Gandalf the Grey and use your magic stick! 2 great days thanks for the tour guys! For more pics please look here! PICS Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Nice pics, maybe next year for me! Are the groomers all shot to shit with the weather? Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Nice TR and pics as usual. E releases onto S in that area have been going off all season. Was told facets & goblets are gone on E at higher elev, but is now one giant slush waiting to release. Like the pic w/ mura-one in the background. Wish we could get a little bit more of winter before we get baked to death for good. Transition was too quick. Link to post Share on other sites
