Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

La Rouya - couloir nord

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
After a couple of years hiatus on the skiing trip reports I have finally managed to get out and ski something good and get some pictures.

This line is over the backside of Pelvoux. There is a bit of a hike to get to it. 400m of skining. But it is so worth it. There is over 1500m of descent and 1000 of it is in a spectacular 45 degree couloir.

Here are some teaser photos

Respect. Looks like an amazing couloir, though I'm not sure where Pelvoux is.
PS - could have done with those photos a bit bigger.
