Lazy days and nice lines up Brevent

Fri 6th: Brevent - Corn / wind-affected powder / chalk

Headed up Brevent to meet Oskar. It was the first day since the snow fall that top bin was looking likely to open. Oskar was late and I bumped into Luke and Kevin so joined them. After a few quick Cornu laps of heavily wind affected snow it was pretty clear that the day wasn't up to much. Luke headed home and Kevin and I dropped off the ridge line into the couloirs off the back of Cornu. OK but nothing special. I scouted a line for next run and we traversed further along. Too far. Oh well. We exited via the steep, narrow couloir at the end. The snow had just transitioned to corn so it was good fun. I wouldn't have wanted to be on it any later though.






















We figured top bin would be open by now and headed up. A few quick laps of Hotel face in good chalky snow, all to skier's left and we headed down. Nice easy morning.
