After a superb break from skiing, I did a couple of couloirs from the Argentiere Basin in the Chamonix valley with Chris and Pat. We did the Couloir Chevalier, which we thought would be a warm up to the Barbey on the Swiss side of the Aiguille d’Argentiere. It turned out to be the steeper one in fantastic powder conditions. We awoke at 3AM this morning to climb the Aiguille d’Argentiere. Four and a half hours later, we were standing on the summit, basking in the morning sun. The snow conditions in the Barbey were not as good. Some old tracks created inconsistent snow. But it was a nice challenge. We skied it all the way done to Saleina on the Swiss side, making for a super fun traverse France-Switzerland.
