Half-term mayhem?

Not for everyone... As per previous years I have scheduled the busiest week of the winter as a good (great!) week to catch up on paperwork and look after some bits and pieces for my 'other' work (not to mention the kids...).

This morning I escaped for a quick blast up a line I have looked up at many times but never got around to skiing, either through lack of time, or conditions. No names mentioned to avoid the 'skitour' effect (hordes of lycra-clad Grenoblois sideslipping everything in sight on their Pierra Menta Carbon Pros), suffice to say it isn't very far away from Bozel and today gave 700m vertical of great 'old' powder - happy days!
