Grands Montets, France

 First day ... the forecast was good, cloud to start with, but getting better as the day wore on.

We headed for Grands Montets and our usual mix of pisted and off-piste routes.

The first call was up the Bochard lift and after looking down the Pas de Chevre and remembering our previous excursions, and exploits.

We followed this warm up run with a visit to the top station and a drop down towards the glacier.

We could look over towards the col de chardonnet and col de passon ...  the target for tomorrow weather permitting.




 We paused to look up and down the valley, on our second run to the top.

We continued to work the routes on the glacier side well into the afternoon. and only stopped when we reached exhaustion.
