Spencer Couloir

The high winds this week have pretty much destroyed the skiing in the high alpine so we decieded to check out the Spencer couloir above the Nantillons glacier hoping the snow might have been a bit more preserved. To access the Spencer you have to uptrack from the mid station of the Aiguille du Mid up the Nantillons glaciers, its a bit of a unique ski line that you actually have to skin for it! Its a very steep wandering line to avoid being below sercas which required far too many kick turns and lots of boot packing. Didnt end up skiing the actual couloir as we were concerned about some windslab instabilities. All in all a great trip.

Forgot my camera this day but stole some pic from my ski partners website, dont tell him.
