La Ceile des Juges, France

First day, and after we had got the gear sorted out, we decided that some skinning would be the best way to start. Up behind La Grave is a very small "local" ski area. two chairs (one up each side of the valley) and a tow. Leaving the car in the cap park, we headed up the piste to the East side .. not really sure where we would get to.. but there was a low ridge over looking the main valley to the South.

We ended up after a couple of hours skinning at one of these bumps, before turning around and trying to remember how the planks worked in conjunction with our feet once they are sliding.
