Far Crystal
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.97 mi
120 ft
More adventurous variant of Crystal Dark
Approach the same way as Crystal Dark, just keep going! Be aware that, unlike Crystal Dark, this is unsecured off-piste, so you must be responsible for your decision-making out here. A climbing traverse can take you above a couple of rock outcrops to give you a longer top section. This zone is stacked with fun, rolling pitches through widely-spaced trees. Depending on how far out you go, you'll eventually rejoin the Creux de Formeïan red piste a little further down (than where you'd rejoin it via Crystal Dark), or the Plan Bois blue piste near the base of the resort. The bushes in the lower part of the forest can be thick, so be prepared for some good old-fashioned bush-whacking! Written by Charlie Boscoe
