Unusually, they weren't too hung-over on this occasion (early days)!

one of the infamous Couloirs from Saulire (honest).

Picnic stop in Les Menuires having done
the Masse black from Pointe de La Masse (2805 m)
to Les Menuires. Is Les Menuires french for dung heap?

Thursday
Our one day of snow. This is the Jean Blanc black to Courcheval 1300.
It's like Jockeys (see above), but with a f****** awful walk at the end.
Congratulations to Mark for finding a vital piece of
his glasses in the deep snow!
