Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

First full day skiing - start before 9, finish after 17:00. It was an epic leg burner pow fest. GoPro seems to have died so you are spared. Last run of the day down Marlenaz

It was quite an adventure on the 190cm Sooons side slipping down the narrow, icy crux that the wind had scoured all the snow out of. And my mate insisted on doing it twice Skullie

Well I tell you one thing - not living in any meaningful way for an entire year is going to make a lot of people weaker and kill them earlier. Enjoy it, you're very lucky.

Thanks again bobinCH for showing us around! Stellar day yesterday and another cracker of a morning today! Morale was low on the medran as it still looked very claggy but we lucked out by being some of the first on the jumbo as it opened.

Got some fresh tracks in the sunshine down the front side of Mont Fort which can't happen very often! Then down the gentianes-tortins followed by a hop round to mont gele for the gele-tortin! Feel like we saw the best of verbier in the last couple of days.

Snow was getting heavy by 11ish though the weather was still coming in and out. Most of the good snow has been had now though

The wind had blown like crazy on the main face turning it to boiler plate. Moved to Petit Bec for safety. It was still a great comp but shame they bomb the face and run the comp last Friday when conditions were the best for years...

Not sure that’s the most sensible entry. Easier to go left or right (red arrows) Have my eye on this (blue) line at the weekend. Never seen it skied. Hope there’s still enough snow to cover the rocks on the exit or will have to summon my inner Reine Barkered snowHead

Definitely no fool zone Smile Is the glacier below worth the effort, not too mellow?

The glacier is mellow but fun. However traversing to the ridge on the left hand exit of the glacier opens 2 fabulous pitches which see little traffic and so well worth it days after snow. Only other way to access them is via Bec des Etagnes which is a 45 min climb and very steep, narrow couloir at the top.

See here for the glacier and next pitch. Another fab pitch over the ridge in the 3rd video

You mean left hand side looking at the photo?

I’m a bit worried about the 2nd steep pitch which is North facing aspect but think we can test the stability from the top with a rope. Suspect we won’t be the first up anyway as not leaving super early with clock change. Taking the drone for some filming...
