TR Envers Solo and untracked 13th May '07
Powders is sick (he ate at McD's) and my other ski partners are refusing to get up early.
It snowed yesterday so today being sunny must be a ski day.
First tram at 8.10 (it was actually on time today). I get some funny looks as I step into my skis, instead of strapping on my crampons to exit the lift station.

The snow looks lovely. It's winbuffed crust on the southerly faces and corn on the easterly ones. There is a storm rolling in from italy so time to get a move on.

Only my tracks on the windbuffed

The flat lands don't look too bad today

It's more rattling along the ice than skiing the slush

Time to pay the piper, a few hundred feet of ladder climbing to get to Montonvers because the sightseeeing gondola to the ice caves is out of action at the moment.
