I&#8217;m a math professor and to balance my work with my passion for the mountains, I often go out before or after class when the conditions are good. When that&#8217;s the case, I&#8217;m tight on time and I know it&#8217;s better to play it safe and stick to familiar terrain. On this particular day, with only three hours of class in the morning, I can start a tour in the early afternoon. But there&#8217;s no time to waste because the sun sets early this time of year. It&#8217;s for this reason that nothing is left to chance. I&#8217;ve already skied the couloirs west of the Grande Valloire twice. The elevation gain is still difficult, but I know the route well and manage to do the ascent quickly. Knowledge of the terrain is essential for this kind of tour!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f684c9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f684c9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65249ff\" data-id=\"65249ff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37a50cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"37a50cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/allied-sepl.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lionel-tassan-2-768x425.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-13248\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allied-sepl.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lionel-tassan-2-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allied-sepl.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lionel-tassan-2-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allied-sepl.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lionel-tassan-2-600x332.jpg 600w, https:\/\/allied-sepl.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lionel-tassan-2-1024x566.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/allied-sepl.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lionel-tassan-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ccad50f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ccad50f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bbbaec\" data-id=\"8bbbaec\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9682d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f9682d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>The couloir<\/h4><p>\u2022 Pic de la Grande Valloire (Belledonne)<\/p><p>\u2022 Western couloir<\/p><p>\u2022 Technical info: 4.3\/E2\/PD+ 350 m<\/p><p>\u2022 Total elevation gain: 1800 m<\/p><p>\u2022 Point of departure: pont de la Valloire, vall\u00e9e du haut Br\u00e9da<\/p><p>\u2022 Topo: Toponeige Belledonne, Volopress edition, Volodia Shahshahani<\/p><p>\u2022 Map IGN 1:25000 : Allevard 3433OT<\/p><div>\u00a0<\/div><h4>The gear<\/h4><p>\u2022 Powder skis 95-100 underfoot<\/p><p>\u2022Skins 100% mohair for sliding<\/p><p>\u2022Bindings with light inserts<\/p><p>\u2022Boots adapted for steep descents (4 buckles)<\/p><p>\u2022Beacon-Shovel-Probe<\/p><p>\u2022Aluminium crampons<\/p><p>\u2022Aluminium ice axe (with steel pick)<\/p><p>\u2022Lightweight helmet certified for ski touring<\/p><p>\u2022Headlamp for the return<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avoiding unpleasant surprises on the slopes It&#8217;s the beginning of December 2019, the French massifs of Is\u00e8re are already covered in a thick blanket of snow, and without hesitation we can begin frequenting the mountain for early season ski tours.
