		<title>Alpine Club meet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few guys from the Alpine Club in the UK came out for a couple of weeks to ski tour in the area. Conditions were good and quite a few good tours were done, including a first descent of a couloir off the Pic du Jaillon.
There are lots of pictures to come soon, so watch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pic du Jaillon &#8211; Couloir NE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw a nice looking couloir on the pic du Jaillon last weekend when I was up at Arvieux skiing with Ollie. I had a look in the book and couldn’t find it so I managed to get Hubert interested in going and checking it out.
 
 
The couloir I saw is the unmarked one. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Font Sancte &#8211; Couloir Nord</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seb and I headed up today to have a go at this couloir. It was really cold. really really cold. That was the overriding theme of the day, the cold. We did good speed on the skin up, and in the sun it was OK, but once we got in the shade, no matter how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Couloir p2766</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Headed out to Ceillac again (it is getting to be my favourite spot) with Matt to ski a nice looking north facing couloir off an unnamed peak with a hight of 2766m marked on it. The weather was a bit variable with clouds and snow drifiting in an out all day.

In theory it should have [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Cube &#8211; Gilles Couloir</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a look down this couloir back in January thinking it looked like a good ski, tricky entrance and a small rock step in the middle. With my brother being out for a few days we decided to go and give it a go. When we got there there were some tracks in it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Font Sancte &#8211; Central Couloir</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I headed up to Font Sancte with John Mallery today to have a go at the central couloir on Font Sancte. The weather forecast was good and the weather seemed to be spot on both at Guillestre and at the car park up at Ceillac.

From the top of the lifts, looking over at the peak [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Runs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a recent post on the Snowheads forum there was some discussion of what the typical angles of black and red runs are.  I have gone to the effort of measuring all of the black runs at the Vars-Risoul ski area using my mapping software and calculating the angles of them.
Here are my results&#8230;
Vautour, 498m [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Cube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a go at this line on the NE face of la Cube at Ceillac today. It wasnt all that great, too much steep combat skiing in the trees for not much gain. There were a few nice turns in the upper section before the gnarly bit. Then there was quite a bit of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ceillac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I headed up to Ceillac for a ski today and to check out the area. It is an awsome spot. There is a lot of good off-piste, easily accessible by the lifts, with not many people skiing it which is good. Right in the middle of the resort is a ridge called the &#8216;crete de [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coste Noundy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can see this slope out of the kitchen window and my office window so it has been drawing me towards it for some time now. I had a go at it last year but the road was snowed in far down the valley and I didn’t allow myself enough time. Today the road was [...]]]></description>
