Off Piste - Chamonix, Courmayeur, St Gervais, La Clusaz, Megeve
I was skiing with Brian and Liz OConnor this week, it had been snowing heavily on Friday and Sat so are touring plans were swapped for some Off Piste action. The fat skis were dusted off as we headed for Megeve on Sunday skiing round the Jailet area there was a team decision to seek out some fat skis on the way home. Armed with her new Ten Eighty Guns Liz was enjoying the powder experience a bit better on Monday back at Megeve this time skinning up the Petite Croz Bollet. We managed to get Brian some Salomon Sandstorms on the way home. On Tuesday we skied in st Gervais skiing great untracked lines all day, Wednesday we visited Les Contamines which had great snow on the N faces. We took a gamble on Thursday heading for Courmayeur which hasnt had quite so much snow the gamble paid off with first tracks down the Yula couloir. We finished the week in La Clusaz again finding great snow on the on faces.
