Itinerary description

We had problems on the coast for landing. There was a high wall of ice difficult to pass. Then we skied up on the glacier up to a steep wall before de saddle. From the saddle we continued in short turns to the summit. From there we followed the ridge to a new saddle facing the next glaciar. We had in front of us a long beautiful slope. We started going one by one. When I went I triggered an avalanche that grew bigger when it breaked deep layers if snow. Noone got heart and we skied all the way down ufffff!!
Then we went up again for second target. This time we went up the glaciar we were an made it ti a saddle in 1 hour. The landscape in this sunny day was magnificent. Took lots of pics. Then we descended 900 m up to the boat in incredible fresh snow. Overall we made 1.500 m of first quality fresh snow in an incredible landscape!!!
