For the next few days I am going to be out in the Alps with Paul, Chris and Colin. Today, we visited Combloux which is a ten minute drive from Saint Gervais Les Bains. Here, we completed the classic ski touring summit, Petit Croisse Baulet (2009m).

The conditions on the ascent were good. We skied a different route in descent. The snow above 1700 metres was still mostly powder. Below this, the warm temperatures had begun to make the snow heavy.
