@stevew, There are other ways, but you can put your photo on https://imgur.com then copy the link (top right corner of your photo) and put it on here with .jpg added and [img] before and [/img] after.

Suddenly wondering if this photo is mine or Arno's. Would be embarrassing if it were Arno's, but I remember he mentioned skiing it on SnowHeads, many years ago, before I skied it.

diamant noir Flaine?

No. (Actually I never skied Flaine, I must go there. It is close to where I went to visit a writer I admired, one summer, so I went and had a look at the totally empty village. I saw one person (far off).
Actually, only some of the best skiers on here will have actually skied it since it is a fairly steady 40º, a bit steeper after the narrower bit in the distance and possibly 45º at the top. One of several good off piste descents on this face... More may have looked up it when skiing past the bottom.
You don't need to get the couloir name.

Tah, was struggling to remember how people were doing it now. My photo would never have been as exciting as yours though!

Nobody got it yet, so here is a photo from the distance (many more steep couloirs and less extreme slopes you can't see in this photo, around further right. And a piste.)
Yes, of course off-piste. No piste is as steep as 40º, other than for a few yards, let alone 45º. Guides quite regularly take people off piste down this main valley from a Coll. So what is the mountain? Or the resort?

@dobby, Arc 2000, but no idea who runs the hotels.
@BobinCH, Well, it is that too, but loads of couloirs (at least half a dozen others close to that last one), extreme pitches (and some quite tough black runs as well). For example directly under the Aiguille Rouge cable car is very steep!

That looks like a lake associated with a dam, below (judging by the bare area close to the water - currently ice - edge).
But with a piste in that relation? Hmm
