A little circuit that took in the Col de Coux above Morzine The temperature inversion was stuck at about 1800m which made for some atmospheric pictures.

This was a route researched by Steve Norris linking the Col de Coux to the Chalets d’Aiguille below the Pointe de Fornet.

A GPS download and stats for the trip available at mtbguru.com and  pictures on Flickr.

There was about 20cm of windblown snow above 2000m that had formed isolated slabs of up to 30cm and drifts up to 1m. Signs of recent spontaneous slab avalanches off the ridges.
