Marbrees/Entreves

Ski mountaineering today and arriving with Peje and Eva in La Palud at 8.15. Got the first cablecar and had pretty windy conditions on top. Hiking around the Aguille Marbrees and finding good conditions on the Marbrees. A little bit crusty at times but still one of the great classics of the Mont blanc region with clear blue skies and great skiing for 2000 vertical metres.
Had a nice stop for coffee at the bottom at 10.15 before starting the skinning and climbing up to Entreves at 3600m. Had the best skiing of the day on the top slopes before reaching the toule glacier. Skiing all the way to the bottom on a run wich gives 2300 m vertical. Great day for sure and after days like this you just whant more and more of it!
