   sorry my bad, just a bit right from it going down: Mont Blanc de Courmayeur, Arête de Peuterey

    Pretty close Gilles!

    Technically though, the “Arête de Peuterey” would describe the top half of this run (and the third picture), but what is the COULOIR the skier is about to drop into in the first photo?

    Should be pretty easy now. 🙂
