What a perfect day at Wildspitz!
Ready for exploring the possibilities at this time of the year Ruth, Flo, Helli and me hiked up high to reach the beautiful white snow on the glacier.
Starting early in the morning we met many race teams queuing at the train to get up to the well-groomed slopes. Passing this mass of skiers and traversing out toward the glacier we were suddenly all on our own and enjoyed the quiet morning on the glacier.
On the hike up we soon realized, that the crevasses are not well covered with snow yet and we had to be careful to choose a proper line.
The higher we got the more we came out of the shade and enjoyed beautiful sunrays and an amazing view throughout the Austrian alps. On our way up we realized already that it’s going to be a great ride down due to nice powder conditions.
Even hiking up the last part along the ridge to reach the summit of Wildspitz was in perfect snow conditions and an enjoyable to climb wearing crampons.
We enjoyed the view from the summit all by ourselves and found a windless and sunny place to relax for a while.
On our ride down we still had to take care about the crevasses but skied some turns in perfect powder conditions…
oh yeah… an amazing day in the mountains with good friends.
Am ready for winter now!
Catch' ya on the mountains,
Tine
