Europe has seemingly been hit by a wave of post Covid-19 confinement road rage. Even professional sports people are at risk.

A skier has been killed and another injured in the Couloir Gervasutti on the East Face of the Mont Blanc du Tacul today. The incident occurred around 12h45. The couloir is extremely steep.

Ski tourers like to keep their secret stashes, well secret. At the same time they do like a good boast to a few online buddies.

The easing of the lockdown in France started on the 11th May 2020.

How far can you ski in a day? For many downhill skiers 100km/10,000 meters is considered a solid day out, uplift included but for some cross country skiers that would just be a warm-up.

More technique work. Trying for balance and feeling the outside edge of the skis.Overall 3m29/km, which is pretty good plus a PR of 19m28 on the south leg - previous PR was 20m43.

JG wanted to check out the wrecked car and get its license plate to see if it was still registered, it is not. It must have been in the woods above the Croix du Trousset for 20 years.

The gps didn't start properly but time was around 3m50/km.

We'd not been through the rock garden on the single du Champ Bertin since it rained a couple of weeks back (too greasy) but today the approaches were dry which was a good sign.

A quick tour along the lake to check out conditions. It was pretty hot after lunch with a bit of a breeze from the north.
