Looks like it should be a black, not a red.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Skiing to Punta Helbronner / Refuge Torino for the Aiguille du Midi, then down to Montonvers yesterday. I noticed that so many things that used to get skied once upon a time - say once a year or so, all had tracks on them.
Most of the major couloir type lines on the Tacul, the Tour Rond, the north face of la Noire. Smaller stuff like the Aiguille du Toule and Aiguille d'Entreve almost mougled out!

Idris, is that exceptional snow conditions or just more mentalists than ever hanging out in Cham?

It's a continuation of what we saw a few years ago with the Midi north face lines. One year 3 people, 30 the next, 45 in a day the following! Rather than a change in ability or ski level, a change in the collective thinking of what is acceptable to ski - A similar thing happened 30 - 40 years ago with De Benedtti and Baud's generation.

That's some eye watering exposure from the face shot but the other pictures make it look much more reasonable albeit buttock clenching.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I remember about 30 years ago climbing up the Gervasutti couloir I think on the Tacul and as we got close to the top we saw some people skiing down the couloir of the same name on the Tour Ronde. Seemed insane at the time (still way beyond me these days !) but as you say, probably done on a fairly regular basis I would guess these days
