Days 5 + 6: Retourner au Grands Montets



Chris, Simon, and Tyler enjoy the view on ridge near top of Tabe/Plan Roujon lifts, before dropping the NE-facing POWDER.

Simon powders through the ridgeline face, near top of Tabe/Plan Roujon lifts.



Marc and Tyler hike off Bochard lift, savoring the remaining precious hours in Cham.



The group is tired because the group just skied their hearts out, off front side of Les Grands Montets summit.



Our group enjoys a quiet apres-ski scene at Chambre Neuf, before the throngs of skier/boarders pack the place. The calm before the No Limits band storm!



Our helmets were hung by the Chambre Neuf window with care ...



Stage-right view of Chambre Neuf scene with the No Limits band. Absolute fun, with no limits to awesome cover tunes (and allowable patron capacity).
