UCPA Chamonix 2013 day 4 – Flegere and Brevent

The forecast was spot on, a clear crisp morning turned into a fantastic sunny day!

We didn’t have an instructor today, so I took myself off to Flegere and Brevent. I skied Flegere for the morning, practicing what our instructor (Antoine) had been telling us the past couple of days, feet apart, feet apart! Knees into the turns and use your “hedges” (his pronunciation of “edges”). Found a new red that had been closed off last season.

I took the liaison over to Brevent for the afternoon. Bumped into a friend from home and skied with them for a few runs. Then I took myself off down a couple more runs that had been closed last year due to avalanche.

The lower slopes were getting quite slushy in the afternoon, so I took the cable car right to the top of Brevent and did the black on the face, I had boarded it last year, so wanted to ski it this year, it was very icy… I made the most of the sunny day an skied till the lifts closed.

Amazing day, absolutely exhausted, early bed!
