Getting fresh tracks (in powder of course) for a whole day is becoming more and more unusual... Perfect powder is becoming harder and harder to find and thanks to the significant evolution of skis during the last 10 years and the progression in ski technique leading to a higher level of skiing, it is easier and quicker for skiers to get to untracked snow. With the concept of “powder hunting”, we go in search of conditions to find the perfect snow that we so often dream of. Whilst a meticulous study of the weather forecast to try and predict depressions is imperative, an in-depth understanding of the local geography is just as important. An awareness of the extremely localised climatic conditions of each mountain range helps us to plan our itinerary. In order to be able to react quickly, in small groups of three to four people we seize the moment and go off in search of new territory between the Tarentaise Valley and Mont Blanc, Italy and Briançon. With “Powder Hunting” we are reaffirming a state of mind that has driven us for many years now. ATTENTION: This course of the “Evasion Program” is offered by some of our High Mountain Guides and under their entire responsibilities. The SCM Top Ski can’t be considered as responsible for the management, cost and organisation of this course.
