Final ski week of the season - off piste, ski touring, ice climbing
Andy Congleton on
the Chere Couloir
I was skiing with Andy and Kat Congleton this week bring joined by various friends ok different days. Andy and Kat have an 18mth old baby so were doing day about. We started on Sunday with Andy and friends skiing the Col du Passon we managed to time the day to get great spring snow on the descent to La Tour. On Mon I was back with Kat and Kate on the Passon for more spring snow. On Monday Andy and I took the first Midi then climbed the Chere couloir which was in great condition. Footsteps filled with neve. We then skied down the Vallee Blanche. I was Kat and friends on wed we planned to ski from the midi the skin to the Italian side of the VB. The weather didn't behave with lots of cloud on the otalian side so we skiied down to the Requin hut for lunch. We then skinned up the Periads glacier before enjoying some spring snow. The lift to Momtenvers wasn't running due to the wind so we climbed the ladders to the train. That was the end of my ski season, I'm off to Spain now with Andy and Kat for some sun kissed rock.
