Have to take full advantage of my
rented ski touring gear, as I have to give it back today. It was
planned to go with mum today, but as she had an accident I went with
someone else.
The ski school 50th
anniversary was yesterday and I had a long talk with Sebastian, a
fellow ski teacher. He asked if he could tag along with mum and me
and as mum didn't go in the end it was just me and him.
Met up at the bottom of the ski lift
and took that right up to the top to get away from the piste as fast
as possible. We started walking up towards the Edelsberg as a lot of
others had done before us so we had a well prepared track to follow.
Unfortunatly nearing the crossing between the Alpspitze and the
Edelsberg his fur didn't stick to the bottom of the ski. In the end,
after many failed attempts to correct it, he carried on without fur.
A task which would have completely knackered me. We managed it to the
top through a snowed up forest and had something to eat and some tee
at the cross. The original plan was to continue over towards Jungholz
and then carry on some way but due to the fur not sticking to
Sebastian's ski we had to abort that idea. We skied back downhill
through a bit of powder snow what hadn't been skied through jet and
reached the bottom after loosing and finding a ski. Went over towards
the Alpsitzhang and met Karin and Heti up there. Skied down towards
Sportheim Böck, had something to drink and went down the Grüne
Strich. Was so much fun we went up with the lift and then down
another time. I really felt the work my legs had to put into skiing
after that.
Carried on down the back to
Bayerstetten and skied through the most powder in that day.
Took a lane down to Hanses house and said
goodbye to Sebastian before taking the touring skies and heading
home.
Some pictures at Picasa and a track at
GPSies.
Just after bringing the touring skies
back to the rental shop, Wolfi from Water Rescue wrote to me and
asked if I wanted to go sledging with them. Thought about it and said
yes and back I was again outside, this time in a blizzard which had
just arrived. Walked up a ways, had some tee and then sledged down in
a few centimetres of new snow.
I was surprised that they asked
actually, as they just had finished swimming in the cold Danube for
fun.
