Great skiing today in the Grimentz classic, the Sex de Marinda couloir. This is the obvious striking gully, clearly visible from Grimentz and reached easily from the top of the lift area on touring skis by a short climb, a pleasant ski and a second ascent. Despite being in the shade all day the snow is surprisingly firm and wind-packed. Fantastic to ski on but needing a cool head - it would be a bad place to fall...
