That reminds me of so many days...

A little bit has fallen in ADH. :)

Metcheck is forecasting a major dump at the beginning of next week. :D

A couple of shot of first part of The Tunnel:

You beat me to that one!

However, it peters out into one of the blandest, flattest tracks in the Alps. Its reputation is greater than its sum parts, but it is redeemed by spectacular scenery and total relaxation as you pole along!

Even if the whole run was the same gradient at the two steep bits, it still wouldn't come in the top 10 toughest runs. The run could easily be reclassified as red.

It's one of my favourite runs, but it's not because it presents a challenge.

Make sure you wear protection.

Those edges will be sharp...

:lol:

Two extra days skiing too.

Assuming we're talking about marked runs…

The Tunnel – Alpe D'Huez
Schindle Kar - St Anton
La Face – Val D'Isere
The Wall – Avoriaz (Only just makes my list, I was a little disappointed, didn't live up to it's fearsome reputation imo)
Genepy - Les Arcs
The Hobacks - Jackson Hole.

Can't comment on Corbet's Couloir as it was closed for the duration of our trip, due to low snowall.
