One of the more valuable practice of backcountry is to feel free, not tied to ski resorts in places much less predetermined. It is so indeed, that by chance, after seeing the first channel from the road north of Mount Ocre, the handbrake is suddenly engaged. Stunned, was not even passed Aida Yespica, all occupants of the vehicle involved in the "daqualcheparteunpodinevelatroviamoTour, now show the classic face of a stupid typical pleasant unexpected surprise. It takes a while 'to understand, digest and decide ...
said than done. Pathless path, in an up / down input of bush and flat land, we reach the mouth of the channel with an hour's walk. Beautiful powder snow, clear skies and no wind! Every reason to include the mental trip to the directory of the best memories.
thorny vegetation of the lower part, which in some parts has made us more like the Viet Cong that fuoripistaioli in the purest sense of the term, is a price we gladly pay to enjoy such wide snow covered surfaces as this channel which, alas ... I do not know the name. In the background, the Corno Grande completely orphaned snow, takes us all the way up.
is void of obstacles, the zig zag proceeds slow and steady smoothly through the first hard snow, powder snow and the winds. The mind processes, assess the risks and solutions draws on the conduct to be adopted. "Tilting" is the watchword. Juggle their weight between the front and rear leg in a continuous adaptation to changing conditions of the snow.
Finding unexpected snow in quantity and quality is already a pleasant surprise, but somehow had not complicate our lives? "Open space or a maze of rocks? Where to begin the descent?", This is m'assilla the problem during the last uphill stretch.
The side access is nice, large, snow-covered. The central definitely less fun, but more adrenaline. Some people will opt for the first
:
anyone for the second:
In any case, beautiful descent for all. So much exciting as it was unexpected.
(in fresh ice ax? Strange to see, the point is that the start of the descent was not exactly something hygienically desirable. It was more than just a great friend .)
Emotions, those experienced on this day, we reported a year ago, when the snow abundant fall, let alone be spoiled for choice. Yet, in a speech on, referring to the current season that is greedy of precipitation, these rides take on a value certainly more profound and every corner is a tribute to the most coming from the sky. Like the radiant sun that has never abandoned us ... But now, it is almost time for him to leave the place a few cloud. ;)
