Rewarding skiing for those prepared to hike a little
Excellent skiing which often stays fresh longer than other lines in the area due to the longer hike. It's Westerly aspect means the snow doesn't stay quite as cold and fresh as long as on the north side, particularly later in the season. From the col, continue up the ridge and choose either the first entrance which avoids much of the hiking, but gives shorter skiing, or hike the whole way to a more aesthetic line directly of the ridge. Ski the fall line to rejoin the Genepy piste. Written by Charlie Boscoe
