bertie bassett, sorry Bertie- yes- overjoyed with being able to put in a piccie
not La Rossiere, nor les Diablerets- the Swiss falg on the helicopter is a clue........
daehwons, not scotland- not many glaciers in scotland last time I looked (granted afair while ago- actually last time I was in Scotland everything I wanted to do had melted)
luigi, from the clues St Anton- nr Krazy Kangaroo (never been there mind so a total guess)
mark handford, Looks like the Tarentaise vally- so les Arcs/La Rossiere or la plange...

snowball, no - but I'd like to - it looks very nice!

The south facing side of the valley. Go to the top and traverse left. When you get to the second (rocky) ridge climb up it about 40 yards, traversing left after the first steeper bit and ski over - Very long descent to the valley (taxi back). This is the start.
It isn't steep but it's very nice.

Yes, we had a big fall half way through our stay, so spent the 3rd day after the fall on that side. The bits in the sun (like this bit) were heavy but the rest was great snow - though shallow near the valley.

Arno, we should really ski together one day - we obviously like the same things.

snowball, I'm guessing yours is the Laub, though it's intriguing to see the tracks go straight after a few turns. My recollection is an amazingly consistent gradient over 1000m(?) descent. I remember writing an article about the Laub for the SCGB magazine. It was largely breakable crust when I did it, but what a phenomenal slope.

FAQ
, I get where you're coming from but I guess 'elevated' means in terms of altitude above sea-level (2410m, by the way)!
