Hidden Faces: Les Marécottes

This couloir is one that we actually wanted to ski from the beginning of the season. Surely one that is not obvious, a real hidden gem. This descent is located between Les Marécottes and Les Portes du Soleil, it is actually a kind of eastern flank of the famous mountain massif Les Dents du Midi. After a first failed attempt and a very long-lasting avalanche danger, the mission was a bigger challenge than expected...
