 You pass the North face of Les Droites. One day will I climb this face, that’s for sure! photo04 (IMG_6175.JPG Kb)
 Climbing up the face. 20-30cm powder… photo05 (IMG_6180.JPG Kb)
 It’s not always possible to do this route in a day because it faces East and get the sun early. Today it was a little bit of wind and that saved us. I recommend doing this route in two days unless it’s cold weather. photo06 (IMG_6181.JPG Kb)

 We skied from the little col. You have the summit of les Courtes just behind. photo10 (IMG_6200.JPG Kb)
 Ready to ski down. I think we skied down at around 14.30 o’clock. photo11 (IMG_6201.JPG Kb)
 First turn, first tracks… photo12 (IMG_6202.JPG Kb)
 One of my best ski descents for sure. 900 vertical meters with fresh powder and an average angle of 50° degrees.
