Headed up to GM with Bob aiming to do Col de Passon. The wind in the car park was so strong we turned around immediately. Headed to Flegere to see if Berard was better. After a long queue we arrived to gale force winds. Crazy bad. Touring was off so did few laps around Index finding where the snow had collected. Few straight-line couloirs and drops. Fun but nothing special. Bob went back. I was just about to when I saw someone skiing down from the the couloir lookers right above Index. The snow looked pretty good...

Figured what the hell so toured up. Again my skins were awful on the steeps (far too small for my fat skis) so I slipped a lot. Boot-packed up to the top and transitioned. Couldn't turn for the first 20m due to there being 5+ people in the way. Mediocre, tracked, wind affected snow down. Stuck high skier's right to join the boot-pack someone had put in to an un-skied section. Toiled up (snow was VERY deep) and skied back down to end the day. Wind affected but untracked so still quite fun. Bit of a anti-climatic day, shame.
