A very steep couloir difficult to locate
Ski Touring Severe
I firstly saw this couloir while skiing on the opposite side of the mountain. It's a long line very steep and with a sketchy entrance. It's difficult to locate the entrance because there are no spots where you can understand your position, when you find the entrance a 60m rappel is necessary to reach the couloir. it ends in Salza Valley It's a very beautiful line but is needs firm snow and good knowledge of steep skiing and mountaineering. its exposed to the north winds to snowpack can be sketchy.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
