Description

Short ski tour to check out the conditions. Not too bad in the end. Destructured snow where it is shady - west bowls of the Grand Rocher. NE face of the Grand Rocher. Still a lot of skiable snow around if you take the more exotic routes. Then hardpack from above the Chalet de Pierre Roubet - like a ski piste. Overall good skiing.
