Tete de plate longue, 2668m...starting Erasmus 2.0 season

Today was not actually the first day, since the day before I went to Monte Ventasuso in the italian side of the port….but it was so windy and unexpectedly foggy, that better to count this one as the first one.

I slept in a B&B next to Argentera in this area of the Alpi Marittime...which is surprisingly far from Genova....it actually takes longer than driving to some part of Aosta valley.

On Sunday I drove to the first village in the French side, Larche. I was never here before...this actually belongs to Alpie Cozie Sur...it is not anymore the Maritime Alps.

Really beautiful Skitour...ahead -i had +1200m...and luckily there were 2 skiers that went ahead of me. Otherwise i would have needed to  navigate through the thick forest on my own with powder snow.

Really beautiful tour, always at the shade. At the end, shining, the goal.

I caught up the couple of skiers in the summit...and thanked them for the trace.

Barcelonette from the summit, well innivated.

One of them is also a splitboarder…..beautiful powder today!

Then, it came my turn.....

We could say...some pillow riding...it has snowed a lot during late November here...

Yes, this counts as a great kick-off the season!!
