Looking up at the Aig. du Fruit, the L hand branch of the Y couloir can be seen snaking up to the ridge.

Aiguille du Fruit
Quick trip out with Ginny today to the Aiguille du Fruit above Courchevel. This 3051m peak dominates the view from many parts of Courchevel and sports a very obvious large N facing easy-angled couloir (400m at 35-40º). Skiers left of this main couloir a narrower Y-shaped couloir heads up to the ridge giving a good tight line on 40-45º slopes. The weather has been very warm and the snow was a little on the slushy side, but still supportive enough to climb.
