 Poster: A snowHead

Classic spring skiing; hard first thing, hero snow once warmed up, corn/slush later. Slopes empty. A few runs closed. Off piste only for masochists. Freeze/thaw forecast for the next week.

Aaahhhh that depends where you go
Though have to say was a very long hike to get a few turns.
This was two valleys down from Puy below the Col de Val Haute up from Champcella

60cm of new snow. Unfortunately a huge crowd of people arrived to do some sort of off piste test. Ski patrol? So what would normally take 2-3 days to get tracked out was by lunchtime

The good news is the pistes are in superb condition and looks like they will be for the next 10 days. No one here now

Sorry I was part of that bunch. Skied a bit in the morning to warm up the legs, test in the afternoon.
Failed, but the pass rate was only 2% .
So something strange going on as the pass mark was 12 out of 20 and of the 130 of us, most could ski quite well!

To start the (long) process to become a ski patroller. (Test technique du pisteur-secouriste)
