The Argentiere glacier is really a great place for ski touring, especially with 25cm of fresh snow to the bottom of Col des Courtes.

Lucky to be one of the firsts to leave the cable car of the Grands Montets, I enjoyed skiing in the pow down to the glacier at 2,500m.

Then I skied up to the bottom of Col des Courtes, enjoying an amazing day in the mountains.

As I was crossing the shrund, two avalanches fell less than 10 meters away, so I decided to take a few more photos and get back down to Lognan.
