October turns on the big hill 19.10.2009

A nice cold Bluebird day in Chamonix - perfect for a little ski testing.
The ridge itself was a little too icy to ski. I dropped in for some south facing windblown and got a few nice turns before it got ugly.
I had to traverse out about 4 turns lower down to find somewhere to jump the rimme (Bregshrund)
Things got flat quickly, so I headed downhill, just downhill enough to get some turns in
Nice enough turns, but then again I have to walk back up. I'm standing at about 3450m and the lift station is at 3800m - having not been up here in a while it's a fair old slog.
Quite a slog back up the ridge - My buddie Jok ahead of me
