The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

The Augille du Midi which takes you to the Vallee Blanche off piste area. You need a guide for this area, and the guide must assess your skiing ability before taking you to this area when the snow is deep.

Wow -- Aguille du Midi (sp?). Great move, an ultimate destination



I'm confused about the hike down -- does the tram take you to the point and then you work down some distance?



This is amazing stuff, I don't know how good a skier you are, but pretty damn good, and some of those chutes must have still been out there.





And the crevasses, basically it's like easy death

The hike down accesses the Valle Blanche -- so I've read. I Will Ski the Valle Blanche one day. 9k vert on a 14 mile run= amazing.
