27th Feb Col d'Argentiere
Its been a while as the weather has been really rough here and I have been working a lot.
Anyways, the last few days have seen a load of snow coming down and rain in Chamonix. But the Remontee Mechanique has read 100cm of snow on Thursday and 60cm of snow on Friday so Saturday was the day! And oh yes, it was ultimate!
Up to the Col d'Argentiere
NE of the Droites. Lagarde looking like it needs some attention soon
Glenn and I managed to get up to Grand Montets for the lucky freshies from the Bochard and Herse lifts down the Combe Secret etc. Standard, awesome heavy powder skiing!
Come 11am, we had a reservation on the top lift so headed up to tour the Col d'Argentiere. More great views of the valley and seeing how things were shaping up.
Lets be honest, we were fairly buggered after our morning skiing so only made it half way up before sacking it off and grabbing more fresh tracks!
This is the last main tour (passon, chardonnet, argentiere, tour noir, col d'argentiere) on this side for me to do so pretty happy.
