Saint-Luc, SwitzerlandAfter skiing to the barrage near Zinal yesterday today we skied to the Illsee barrage near Saint-Luc. I’ve wanted to ski this for a while, I’ve skied the north face of the Bella Tolla before but not descended so far or skied into the Illsee. It’s a good line, a descent, a climb, another descent and another climb before finishing above Chandolin.

By the time we were descending to the Illsee the light was a bit poor and the snow a bit marginal but it was a good pitch and a pleasant climb out again. All the nicer as I’d not toured on my Kilowatts before and not tried the old skins on them, happily the old skins fit a treat and I don’t need to buy any more.
