Another perfect day for skitouring in the Arlberg region is ahead...how cool is it to look out of the window early morning ... get hit by bluebird and the rising sun and get ready be outside...
Todays goal: Augstenberg starting from Rendl ski area into the Moos-valley.
Although there was a bit lack of snow, and the steep part right after the dam was super icy, it was great fun to finally reach the sun. After this first part you find an enjoyable walk all the way to the top.
cold and ice early morning...
...slushy and sunny after...
stunning views from the top...
From there we decided to take the risk and ride down towards the ice fall…cruising down the first slope was definitely worth to take what came after.
While sliding down the ice fall I would have loved to have my ice axe, which was still lying back home.
sharp edges needed!!!...thx to Toko for providing me with great stuff!!!
A few turns later in variable snow conditions we ended up hiking down an ice avalanche, holding on to trees, following the paths of the mountain goats, all the way to the verwall bus station.
Oh yes, I guess a great tour if there would have been enough snow to ride all the way down ;-)…and yes, we have definitely earned a beer after at Rendl beach...watching the area of our todays tour!
catch ya',
Tine
