Good group with a wide variation of technique but all with a common spirit and great attitude.The transceiver check found one not switched on and then we went down “Mattis” off piste to check everyone out for planning the itinerary. Basically, Mattis is safe and comes out after a relatively short descent onto a piste. The snow was packed and breakable but everyone handled it well and there would only be improved conditions higher up on the North facing slopes.
Altogether we covered Mattis, then off-piste from the top of the Laisinant chair to the Signal, then the Grand Vallon and then Col Pers. The slopes were practically empty and conditions were even better than expected. Great company and great skiing!
