Ski tour round Le Pain de Sucre

We took lifts up the green bit, walked up the pink bit and skied back down the red bit.

Foot steps setting off up the hill we are about to follow

Rich coming across a steep bit

At the top of the walk up. We didn't use skins, we just walked up in our ski boots with the skis on our back

Looking back down the way we had walked up

Walking just a bit further to have lunch at the peak here

My skis with the view

Having lunch

After lunch we are going to traverse round under this rocky triangle and go over the ridge at the far right of the picture (before the rock band)

Here is the lunch spot far on the right and Doug and me about to traverse round on the left

This is Richard following Doug and me round the traverse. We had to take our skis off in the middle to get over that rocky band. It felt a bit scary perched without skis.

Here is Doug having gone over the ridge surveying what we are about to ski

Looking down where we are going to ski

The village where we had a nice hot chocolate (Doug) and citron presse (me)

Looking back up where we skied - down past that little triangle in the middle of the skyline
