Alpe d'Huez: L'Agnelin

No pictures of this one, but a classic route through the couloir Agnelin off the Rousses, with a variation down to Oz station. I got such a buzz doing this, skiing in mountain wilderness alone.

Comments:
Is this run the Agnelin?

Thanks for this - nice video that brought back memories of skiing this route with mates ages ago. The video is from near the top of the Grandes Rousses cable car, and accesses a plateau above the Grandes Rousses red piste, and in the last gully it finally joins the same piste where the skiers in the video turn out right. Agnelin couloir is across the Grandes Rousses piste, heading left instead of right (that the skiers took). It's a continuation of the same gully, but is narrower (depending on snow conditions). It descends onto large flat area which you have to pole across, and a few more gullys before arriving on the piste from Vaujany to Oz. If there's good snow cover low down then go all the way to Oz. If not, just enjoy what these skiers are doing! Cheers.
