Very similar to Tuesday's run so I'll keep it brief. Joined Rasmus and Ali for a quick run (on skis) as no one was interested in touring. After some discussion about Grand / Petit Envers we decided just to do a quick Rognon. The weather was still perfectly clear but much colder.

We found grippy chalky snow up top. Rognon itself was good wind affected powder turns. Seracs du Geant down was back to uniform chalk.

The other two were pretty tired but we kept a fast pace and after a 10:15 up lift made Montenvers by midday (wanted to save the core shots from the James Bond track). We got half way up to realise that the lift wasn't running. Quickly checking the CDMB website revealed Montenvers was closed due to technical difficulties... Fantastic. We walked down and exited via the JB which was actually great for the most part.
Neither of the others fancied a second lap with me so Ali and I popped up to Le Tour for a quick piste cruise as it was his last day. It felt damn strange skiing without a transceiver and heavy pack. After 4-5 laps we got bored of the queues and headed back where I once again got ready for work... A recurring (and pretty irritating) theme...
