Skiing COSMIQUES COULOIR - Aiguille du Midi on a deep POWDER DAY!!!

- The Cosmiques couloir/Couloir des Cosmiques is one of THE classic ski descents on the north face of the Aiguille du Midi - Chamonix. Very steep and narrow at the start (absail almost certainly obligatory these days), before opening out into a wide 40-45deg powder bowl which gives hundreds of meters of epic skiing! Queuing is a given, and you will never have the place to yourself on a blue sky day. We were on the second bin of the day and there was still at least 20 people dropping into the line in front of us... but once you are into the belly of the beast there is plenty of snow for everybody to find their line, just dont expect it to stay good for very long. Being predominantly west facing it gets sun baked very quickly after fresh snowfall...

Gnarly as hell dude! What would you say is the hardest run along the aiguille du midi?
Well probably the Mallory porter, but I haven't done it! Well actually the frendo spur but I don't consider that skiing as you have to absail/fly most of it!
Hi! Amazing run! How widht was your skis?
Mid january will be maybe early for this couloir? Or usually gets good sniw conditions early ?
Usually its better in the first hours of the day o start at 12 could be right?
Thanks!
those skis are only 88 under foot, way too narow for this amount of snow!
it is possible in january in a good year, but you will need more than 1 absail to get into it, and there may not be any useful anchors.
the couloir faces west, so you want to ski it in the morning to find the best snow. On a good day if you are not on the first lift up from chamonix then it will be completely skied out!
des vrai casse cou
How long is the abseil with an average snow pack? Can it be done with one 60m rope? Are there bolted anchors?
I actually can't remember, but we would have had 2x30m ropes so you could double over a 60. There are two different absail lines, we took the skiers right which was just 1 absail. You can see other people on the left line on a few occasions but that was more than 1 absail in these conditions. We absails from bolts, the other line may have been tat
