Steep and exposed in Verbier

respectively, skied more of “my” classic lines this Easter. We dropped into the
steep, South Face of the Mt.Fort, onto not-yet-thawed corn, sliding right into
wild alpine terrain, soft 48 degree+ corn over cliff
bands.
You may say crazy, but I would
say safe. I saw Tamsin turn on a dime when I suggested her skis may like it
better facing the other direction. That was on 45 before moving lower onto 50+
degrees through the exit chute. A first descent through these cliff bands I
might add!!!
Quelle ambiance! After a
short climb and much hunting for a fully functional lift, we dropped directly
into Verbier for lunch, the diagonal line down the Petit Mount Lollitop, skiing
steep and fine corn going south. Then, after lunch, we flew over the 2 lakes of
Vaux and down into Vallon d’Arbi, descending finally to 1500 meters on a thin
band of snow.
