The third week of March was again spent free skiing in Le Monetier les Bains with the Snowheads off piste week. True to form it started snowing on the first day and we scored several days of fresh powder. My ‘bobble hat’ cam recorded a few runs, both outside of the main ski area but it goes to show that a little walk pays dividends.

^^ Access to the couloir required a bit of walking, scrambling and climbing taking perhaps an hour. Well worth it in the end. The couloir was in pleasantly steep, in good condition and opened to a lovely powder field. Skip to about 3 min to skip the walk in.

^^ This side valley is the section that the couloir joins. We stuck lucky finding it untracked. The exit is through a forest offering some nice tree skiing.
