Portes du Soleil Grand Tour




Today's outing started off as an expedition to Chatel but ended up being a complete tour of the Portes du Soleil, via Morgins and Champery.  There had been a major dump of snow over the previous 24 hours so we had some interesting/challenging conditions to contend with, but we managed to complete the circuit with time to spare.
To round off the day I decided to introduce Peter to the delights of the Marmottes snowcross piste. This turned out to be something of a mistake as we were engulfed in cloud at the start of the run and then proceeded, respectively, to get buried in a 2m snowdrift and ski over a cliff. Not one of my better suggestions, but we survived to tell the tale.
