Brilliant - what year was this? I'm guessing that this is the traverse round to the path below Montenvers - not feasible these days, I presume.

I need to check the original: probably 1980s. Location correct.

Excellent John. Looks more like early 70s to me.

Obviously nobody there using hire skis, they would have just skied over all the rocks.

The stripey patterns on the clothes I think were tres popular in about 74-ish (Rossignol?)
The skis and clothes look a bit earlier, though. As I recall, other colours than red and dark blue were beginning to be used in about 75-ish .
And right, hiring gear wasn't the fairly hassle free process it is today. Brueghel - good call. I was wondering why it was resonating so strongly

Really superb picture. Looks like that boulder is about to let go, which the chap in orange is leaning on!

What a great photo. In the style of Cartier Bresson - the decisive moment!
