Off Piste Introduction day 6

Last day of the Off Piste Introduction course today, run by offpisteskiing.com and Jagged Globe.

Words probably won't do the day justice so best to sum it up with 2 pictures...

Thanks to Aiko, Ben, Rich, Nick and Jack for an entertaining week - the banter was as good as the skiing progression!

More adventures in the Vanoise

Day 4 of our week of off piste adventures, location: Val D'Isere...

Duly rewarded:



Who says there's no powder about?



Top lunching in the sun:



East face of the Charvet, anyone??

The team let rip on the wide open slopes below:



Nice chalky bumps on the Bouchet North face:



A short skin up the Mt de Peclet:



Mike R, Mike W and Nick on the summit:



Good heavy powder on the way down:



Day 6, back to Val D'Isere for a tour over the Pointe des Fours.

Skins go on at the Pont des Neiges:



Great views into the Haute Maurienne, we managed to lose the company with a cunning diversion to the Pointe des Fours instead of the standard Col route...



The team 'au complet' on the summit:



One short narrow section:



Then great spring snow all the way to the valley floor:



Approaching the Fond des Fours hut:




Thanks to Mike, Mike, Nick & Jack for the great company and for being willing to see "whats round the next corner" all week!!
