first snow

On October the 12th the weather forecast said that a cold front with snow should come tomorrow and it should stay for the next days. I didn't really believed in this forecast, because most times its not right. But when I woke up the next morning, it didn't look like autumn anymore... it looked like winter. The next moment I got a call from my buddy Joi that we should go up to our homeresort, after a short check on the web measurement station we decided to do it. But I had to go to University first, which was super juicy :-)


But then we started our hike, first we had to carry our skis on our backpacks but not that far. Then we hiked on with the skins. And meter after meter the landscape got more beautiful, the trees were covered with snow, no noise, like in the deepest winter.



But when we looked down to the valley, we saw the green fields and reallized what we were doing, awesome! All these amazing impressions while tracking up let us feel so happy, that we nearly forgot the effort.


A few 100 meters under the top we got into a tight fog field and only a few minutes later it started to dump again. So we reached the top after 1100m altitude of hiking, and it was unbelievable, we were standing in 75cm of freshest -8°C cold fluffy deluxe powder, yeah!!!



We tried to make some cool fotos or filming, but it was dumping to hard, so we could hardly see anything... So we decided to switch of the cam and just skied down near the trees enjoying the endless deep ride, what a season opening!!!
