Fantastic day on the Mallisards. Bottom of couloir lacked snow but we were climbing. All the south west slopes were crusty and light cloud stopped the sun melting this. We descended from the Dome de Bellefont as far to the left bank of the bowl as possible where the shade had left some powder.

Weather: Sunny but not warm enough to melt crust on SW slopes
