Description

I decided to head up after work for a final ski at the Col de Marcieu. I was on classic skis and the tracks were made, more or less. It would probably have been ok on skating earlier in the day but by the early evening it was pretty soggy. Lots of walkers with their viscous hounds. Did a few loops without poles for grip and balance practice and visited the Chapel

Conditions

Soggy snow, about 40cm of fresh but only really light above 1350 meters for anyone heading off piste
