Splitboard touring routes in sunny Brevent and Flegere – Chamonix

With all this sunshine the early morning snow pack has been stable making it great for touring. I went on a search to find my favourite reliable powder run.
This run is almost unique in Brevent, in that it never catches the sun. Therefore the snow preserves much longer, in fact it was sluffing powder in the couloir I rode! The pictures are from two tours in the same area earlier this week.

I love my new Jones Solution board and the G3 skins are ace so far as well
