First Ski Tour of the European Winter

 

Arriving back in Chamonix we were anxious to get out and stretch our legs after a long drive from the UK and we got some beta from Charlie Boscoe where the good skiing was. On the way up we spied a nice little couloir which was accessed from a lovely ridge hike. Lush to be back out in the mountains – good for the soul!
