On Saturday we headed to Le Tour, where cold knee-deep powder was interspersed with the occasional patch of windblown hardpack just to test the balance...
On Sunday, with a poor forecast we looked lower and made the short tour up the Croise Baulet from Combloux. The ski down more than made up for the uphill efforts, with great powder turns, all rounded off by a chocolat chaud in Le Plan before using the lifts to get back to our starting point.
Heading towards the Col du Jaillet, Petit Croise Baulet up right:

300m of climbing took us to the top:

Great powder turns on the way down (too much fun being had & the camera was forgotten!). A mid-descent break for food & drink:
