Description
The width of this slope is what makes it so enjoyable.
You could spend a whole day going up and down it and never ski exactly the same line.
Although it gets smashed by the wind, if it’s still then this slope can be magic.
Getting to it requires a high traverse to the left of the steep section of the Col du Vent piste followed by a short hike (10 metres or so) up to the ridge above and the slope’s entry point.
Once there, pick your line.
It is mostly obvious from above where you can go but if in doubt, check the slope out from the Eychauda piste below first.
There is the odd rock and ridge to break up the slope but route finding is pretty straightforward.
Although not as classic as some of the lines in this area, Catex can be a good option once the nearby Neyzets and Montagnolle get tracked out.
Or just if you’d like to try something different.
