Distance: 10.3 km

Slope Aspect: East

Vertical Climbed: 360 meters (1,181 feet)

Vertical Descended: 364 meters

Description

About a minute quicker going up today but still not under the 30 minutes for the climb which was the aim. Pleasantly warm, quite a few people descending at 8am and a lot more climbing when I skied down. Found the descent hard on heavily frozen corduroy. Quite a bit of sand in the air. Off piste wasn't really skiable. West slopes were too hard and rutted and east slopes were mushy.

Segments:

Chalets de Charmant Som (4.92km) 37m56

l'Oratoire (4.02km/306m) 32m32

Montee Charmant Som (3.63km, 292m) 30m52

Conditions

Good refreeze. Dirty snow for the first 1km, a bit hard to skate. Very hard corduroy apart from the canaple which was broken snow. Generally good on the up but difficult on the down.
