Pisteurs Couloir

On Monday 18th February I took on one of the harder and more famous couloirs in Val d'Isere, Couloir des Pisteurs.


We had to hike about 20/30 minutes along the ridge in the picture above from the top of the Grand Prix chairlift.


This is the view from the entry to the couloir.




This is Rob coming down after me and Sam.


The good news was that after the tight rocky couloir there was some really good powder when it opened up. It was 4 days since it'd snowed but as not many people do the couloir and the weather had stayed cold the snow was amazing.




This is the view of what we skiied from the bottom.
