A different end of day run at Grands Montets. Ski down to the bottom of the Tabe chairlift, with the chair on your right. Keep going another 100m down and the top of the couloir is reached. Ski down and along the west rim for another 100-150m until the slope is clear enough to traverse into the couloir. Pitch is about 40 degrees max. It is about 200m long. When the couloir starts to narrow and become full of brush, traverse to the right of the fall line to under the Plan Joran chairlift. Ski under the chairlift, avoiding the very steep section near the bottom and exit at Grands Montets base station.
This picture shows the skiable part of the couloir.
Difficulty; if you are first down you could get lost in the trees quite easily. There are some tight parts so jump turns are needed.
