I'd heard the Chemin de l'Herse had been pisted at the weekend for cross country skiing. After my climb to l'Emeindras on Tuesday I was concerned it would be unskiable but it was much better than expected although not as fast as on bashed trails. I don't think I came here at all last season due to lack of snow.
3-5cm of fresh snow that had been bashed a bit by the passage of skiers. About 20cm of base but in places this was a breakable crust in some places so either poles or skis could break through (see photos). A few stones on the bottom of the descent. As usual, walker foot prints all over the place.
