UCPA Chamonix 2013 day 6 – Grands-Montets

It had stopped snowing during the night, but when we got to Grand Montets at 9, they weren’t open yet, they were blasting the snow to help avoid avalanches, you could hear the explosives going off and echoing down the valley.

We eventually got moving and headed up the chairlift, visibility wasn’t great and it was snowing again. We spent the morning doing some off piste runs beside the piste. Which was good because I had hurt my knee in the wipe out I took yesterday and I wanted to stay on piste as much ass possible.

We took a short late lunch. Then a couple more runs before I decided to finish early and head down because of my knee.

We had our debrief with our instructor in the UCPA bar before dinner. Then I headed to SoulFood to listen to a live band with my room mates and some other guys who had been on courses this week.
