Skiing from a wide col with space for a lot of skiers; fresh tracks are almost guaranteed.
From the top of the Col Cornu chairlift skin up to the col Cornu itself. Traverse the north face of the Aiguille Pourrie (watch out for windloaded slopes) to gain the entrance to the Col de la Glière. Entering the bowl is less steep further L. A beautiful mellow bowl, steep for the first few turns leads you back to the piste. Stay R for shadier, codler snow in the upper section. Written by Charlie Boscoe
