The coq<br />
Now here’s one of my favourite ski runs on<br />
the Evasion Mont-Blanc skiing area. A real<br />
afternoon’s pleasure! After a rapid ascent<br />
with the christomet TSD6 (detachable,<br />
high-speed 6-seater chairlift), which allows<br />
us to admire the black Aigle below, we<br />
descend to the right at the summit of the<br />
chairlift. There, high up and in the sun, we<br />
take the time to contemplate the snowcovered<br />
croisse Baulet in the foreground<br />
with the Aravis range behind. We get<br />
started, peacefully carving this red by little<br />
flats and a few broken slopes. The speed<br />
There, high up in<br />
the sun, we take the<br />
time to contemplate<br />
the snow-covered<br />
croisse Baulet in the<br />
foreground with the<br />
Aravis range behind.<br />
increases, the wind blows, the snow flies<br />
and we continue towards the Frasses. The<br />
slope forks off suddenly to the right and<br />
goes into the forest. A little schuss welcomes<br />
us, we build up speed, faster and faster, no<br />
time to brake… and the serious things begin<br />
as two long and wide walls succeed one<br />
another. Facing the slope and with tight<br />
little turns, the snow marches under our<br />
feet, no time to catch our breath on the short<br />
sloping ledge, and the second wall is<br />
already burning our thighs. A few more<br />
turns and we are at the bottom, at the foot of<br />
the christomet. We can catch our breath,<br />
and take just the time to admire our tracks<br />
before going up again! What happiness<br />
