TWGR [Alpes Grées] Tête des Vieux NE

Splitboard outing to North-East Couloir of Tête des Vieux in Italy.

We started the ascent from Elevaz 1300m. As there wasn't much snow we decided to take the summer way to Mt Crammont. After one hour walk we started skinning just before the small village of Chanton.

Beautiful surrounding but unfortunately it became cloudy...

After 5 hours of effort and 1580m of vertical ascent we reached the top of the North East couloir. Rider's right side of the chute was a mix of powder and icy snow, very good conditions to test my new splitboard.
