Christian, Lionel and I skied the Glacier Rond couloir which starts at the "Cosmiques" hut and heads right down to the valley and the city of Chamonix.<br><br>Quite impressive...things got steeper and steeper this week...I think I will stop here <br><br>Here is Christian skiing down the first slope:<br><br>

Thanks for the pictures, Michael. I knew I should have stayed one more day!

Nice pics Michael! It looks like the couliors were in fine form. I believe this may be the same route where Trevor Peterson was caught and killed in an avalanche back in 1996...but I am not sure. Nice job.

Hey Michael,<br><br>Thats a pretty interesting ski run huh? Did you make it over to the Cosmiques run which you repel into below the hut? <br><br>I spent the winter of '00 in Chamonix and had one of the best winters of my life.<br>

<br><br>Definitely a fun run - glad the snow conditions were that good.<br><br>I didn't do any other run up there, I think the other one you mention is probably the couloir des cosmiques which may require a rappel for the first section depending on the year.<br><br>Hey Michael,<br><br>Thats a pretty interesting ski run huh?

<br>Yeah, when there is enough snow this place is hard to beat....I spent the winter of '00 in Chamonix and had one of the best winters of my life.<br>
