Description

Parked at 1220 although the snowline was lower. Quick climb to the summit of Bec Charvet with my fats (100mm) then a descent into the west bowl which I hadn't skied before as far as the road. Climbed to Pravouta by the Occepe forest which was quite hard. Slightly crusty on the SE face which had seen a lot of sun despite it being January. Then ski down through the woods and road to the car.
