Skied mid station Midi 2 laps of waist deep fluff up high and slop down low.

Did the petit Envers later - Bottomless wind deposited. Scary and very hard to make headway. Had to pole all the lower angle stuff. Should be good when it clears.

It was clear some of them would ski in above us so let them go first.

Avy conditions weren't great by the end of the day, a very strong wind was building up a soft slab. I set off a small 4m 10cm thick slab off a moderate slope which was warning enough.

On a sad note, a Finn died in an Avalanche off Rendl today

I'm not sure I have legs anymore. I stop for a bit midday and they return.

Hi Tom, did you ski skiers right of left of the cable car? Thinking of going up there tomorrow.

Today Flegere was off the hook. Like the two previous days

Line below cable car is now in condition, yesterday still a few rocks but light pow, totally untracked, today was more filled in but got a bit heavy towards the bottom, just two tracks before us.... love finishing the day in flegere with that run.

**mtcham** · 02-27-2007, 01:32 PM

Got one last day at Grands Montets after screwing up my airport transfer and having to reschedule my flight home. Powder all day long and no lines.

Powders, we probably crossed paths 2 days ago on the L'index as we were lapping it all day.

Good to meet another maggot on the hill today.

**TeleAl** · 02-28-2007, 01:39 AM

**subtle plague** · 02-28-2007, 01:43 AM

**davidof** · 02-28-2007, 04:43 AM

**TDJ** · 02-28-2007, 06:55 AM

Both.

GM was great snow and variable vis today. Lots of deep stuff around and some windblown.

Anything below 2000 was slop and heavy. Legs gave out early today.

**Hicks** · 02-28-2007, 10:20 AM

Will get in touch with some of you guys when I get a chance to sneak out from work.

**cj001f** · 02-28-2007, 11:49 AM

got a bit ugly today here - snow level was 1700 ish around 9, rose up to about 1900 noonish, then dropped down again - alternating graupel/rain in the village right now.

Got the first Trittkopf tram (with 5 others) - heavy up top, but fun. The rufibahn not so much - everything closed or sketchz.

Dunno about the body count, but I think the newspaper said 2 swedes died in the same place a couple of weeks ago

**jskierpx** · 02-28-2007, 11:59 AM

dont know what to think

From meteo:

"precipitations will become abundant tomorrow Thursday and will continue Friday all the day, with a snow line around 1500-1800 m Thursday, 1500 m Friday and temporarily going down around 1000 m at the end of the episode Friday at the end of the day. Clearing Saturday morning, with a fresher time and a little sun. Rise in temperature at the end of day and the little rain Saturday evening towards 1800-2200 Mr. Dimanche tendency to the fœhn and 0°C will climb between 2500 and 3000 Mr. Gare with the fast snow melt who will make inflate the rivers and with the avalanches of wet snow. The flow of disturbed west seems to want to be maintained durably for the continuation."

and the poor english is because it is translated from french

Attelas less vis but skiable.

thinking of taking a run down there on Thurs or Fri. based on ur knowledge of snow & vis conditions up high.

Nope, all the connections from Siviez where closed when I arrived at Tracouet so I decided to stay at Tracouet.
