Skied out of Flegere today with the supercrew of Myself, Rylan, Ciara, Dave, Eric, Jason, Ben, Krystal, Joey and Janey. With this many people what could go wrong? The rough plan was to skin up Col du Belevedere and ski/rappel down the back side and ski to Le Buet, get everyone on a rope so they can say they got extreme, and have a beer before thr train ride home. We definitely skinned up to Col du Belvedere, and definitely did not get extreme. Instead we had a rope that wouldnt get the weaker skiers of the group past the rocky and firm gnar on the backside. We pulled the plug and motored back to the Flegere tram which closed in 45 mins. If we didnt get the tram we would have been walking another 2 hours down. Instead everyone busted ass, and skied, hiked, bush skied, rock skied, bootpacked and generally got awesome to make the last tram. Tears were shed, marriages were saved, and we all drank tasty beer at Les Rhododendrons. disaster averted!
