Skitouring - Fontenil Valley

After two days off-piste, we head into the Fontenil valley for Pierre and Nico’s first ski tour, with powder turns and a few surprises in the wind crust.

Ski tourers cross the snowy Fontenil valley beneath a cloudy sky.

After two cracking days off-piste, I suggest Pierre and Nico give ski touring a go. We set off from Le Monêtier into the Fontenil valley, where I’m hoping we’ll find some shelter from the wind and a bit of powder to get our skis into…

Turns out we’ve picked pretty well! The skiing is great, apart from a few patches of wind crust that catch us out and send us, one after the other, deep into the snowpack.
