Today I went out to La Clusaz for a work-out that ended up being more fun than anticipated. I went in resort because nobody wanted to go out based on a sucky forecast. Well I got luck as the forecast was off enough and the snow wasen’t anywhere close to as bad as announced.
Some stats for La Clusaz :
Number of lifts: 129
Tot. run length: 200 miles
Highest lift: 8,121 feet
The best part of Aiguille du Calvert is that you get a fast and efficient 5,000 feet skin and drop and you can be home by about 1pm. Not too shabby…
Here are the pictures of the day (click to enlarge):

| Massif de l'Etale. |
 |
| The cross on the Aiguille du Calvert, a place as good as any to find religion... |

| The view from the Aiguille into a lot of great backcountry ski terrain. |
