We skied the ultra classic 1000+ m NE Face of Les Courtes with consolidated powder.  Views nonpareil.
Oh, wow! One photo that sticks in my head of all the routes over there is that one. Sweet. Nice to see you are killing it on the other side of the pond. Wish I were there with ya. Maybe next time.

Super classique, bien sur! Will look for your tracks on Friday, visibility permitting.

WAY TO GO!  How about some more pictures and stories!!!!!!!!!!

Just curious, are most of the lifts shut down especially the "tele-freek" up on  Grand Motet?  When I was there in the earlier year of '87 most everybody left 'Cham' after Easter and so the uphill transport was quite limited...Same or Different?


Whoa, that looks like a beauty.  I look forward to more pics!

Actually, 1300 m.

Argentière is a ghost town now but les télés sont ouverts.

It snowed and blowed since then so you probably won't see our tracks.

Merci bien!!!!  VERY COOL!!!!!!!!

Very high quality, high resolution write-up available here. Many very large photos.

Glad your getting your stoke on over there, man.
