NE Couloir Col Armand Charlet

I have been dreaming about skiing this line. When i first came to Chamonix winter 2013 i saw people ski lines like this and wanted to do the same. Alot of training and waiting for the line to come in conditions we could finally ski it in the best steepskiing snow i ever skied. The line was perfect from top to bottom and so exposed alot o feelings after have skied it. Thanks Ben and Mikko for make a dream come true.

 The line! Have only been skied twice by really good skiers and snowboarders. First skied by Emmanuel Ballot 14 februari 1993.

Voie Fynn-Goudet on Grande Rocheuse

Last time we tried this couloir we had only light crampons and 1 light iceaxe and it was not so easy to climb over the icefall in the start so we had to turn around. This day we was better prepared :)

This line is not very often skied but its really steep! 

On the way up.

Climbing over the little icefall that was in the start.

It was steep all way up :)
