A special day in IT.....Toula and Arp

So Sunday it had snowed a good amount in Cour and the IT side on Mont Blanc. Marco knew a friend that knew a guide in Cour (Rudy)...so we met up on a sunny Monday to get on the goods. We arrived in Cour to meet up with Luigi and Rudy. Just like on Saturday we hit the Toula glacier first..but in much better conditions. Marco was stoked:
