Back in Grimentz again last week with the Eagle Ski Club for a mix of touring and instruction - the ever-popular Grimentz Off-Piste week. Baking temperatures had quickly melted the metre of fresh snow from the previous week but the superb lift system and a little bit of touring still gave us some excellent skiing on spring snow and shady cold powder, fresh tracks every day and big improvements in everyone's skiing.
