Monte Rosa – east face, Marinelli couloir

Two great descents of the highest wall in the Alps (2400 m vertical difference) along the famous Marinelli Couloir. This line is probably one of the best descents of steep skiing in the world and we have been very lucky to find it in very good conditions last Friday and Saturday; in the upper part we founded untouched powder both days (our tracks were coverd by a little snowfall on Friday afternoon!) and perfect spring snow in the couloir. Only on Saturday we had to pass trough a cloud, finding bad visibility in the middle section of the face.
Congratulations to Norbert, Marco and Roberto who skied (very well) with me this line, after a great ski season in the Dolomites to train for this descent.
