First virgule of the year (ok I already skied the near neighbour, the Pas de Ragris). Very good snow conditions. Some tracks alraedy but enough room to have fun. The snow had started to form a crust in the sun on slopes that were very exposed to the east. Very good skiing in the forest. Plenty of room for the weekend in the sector.
I skied down with Pierre Neyret, a guide from Chambery who was with three clients.
