No prob's, Try mountain forecast.com for latest forecast,looks like there may be a small amount of snow next week,but not much.Whilst we were there,we mainly ice climbed,on the falls and flows around the refuge,and further up the valley,theres quite alot to do,but as I mentioned the snow pack was in shocking state in places. The team that I did see,said what they did ski wasnt too bad, but did question as to wheather it was worth the long slog up to the col,Clochertons, for a few turns. They had come all the way from Colorado,so guess it was.The rocky ridge scramble leading up to Ras was snow free,the Tizi N Quagane is partialy snow free,you could get a few turns in on the other side though. and the classic line on Ras was almost complete,just a short rock band at the top,its a bold ski down at the best of times,gets quite narrow,about 3 metres,but with a good run out,The gully line leading up to Tizi n Tadat, was almost none existant, just thin lines,and not continuose,only near the top did it look sort of ok.
I would say,when I left the ski'ing potential was very very limited,with quite a bit of walking to be done,to get to snow line,you would have to have a good look around to find long descents,which I'd say at the moment realy are'nt there,but fingers crossed that may change???????. Have to say the whole place felt very very quiet compared to the 3 weeks I spent there last year at a similar time,but there was tons more snow last year.
