Helbronner

Today I went to the Helbronner which is one of my favourite places to ski with big faces, arretes and long couloirs. We started off with a run under the cables with Cedric Bernardini, Luca Pandolfi and Tom Grant and found good sluffing snow. After another couple of laps there we were joined by Dave Searle and Ally Fulton and went for a team social ski down the Marbree to finish.

Pow

17th Jan 2013by rosshewittguiding1 Comment

When you wake up to scenes like this outside the window its obvious its going to be a great day of lift served pow. Instead, we went touring. It took ages to get anywhere, the -20C snow was pretty cold on the feet, I fell in a hole on a ridge up to my neck, our line ripped, all quite frustrating. Then Brevent saved the day with a few laps of 1500 m vertical pow.
