Cool! 8)

Sun in the Austrian Alps, while we were getting a lot of fresh snow in the Swiss & French Alps from Saturday to Monday!

This season, in the Alps, nobody is left with no snow! :D

Thats right! So don't forget to go out. We have now on wide areas about two meters of snow on 1600 and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research propose us an additional half meter to midweek at least! Snow-high will be then over three meter on some Mountains at 2300 o.s.l.

So I hope for some new tracks like my left one last week:

I don't know yet. But as you can see, "La Corne" (the highest slope on the picture) is already open! This black slope is great too. See you there maybe! ;-)

Realy fine powder-snow conditions!

Snow-high every time over 200 cm on top and over 110 cm on 1100 m!
4 Days of pure deep powder snowboarding !
(with the supplement of some dozens of turns like lazy-carving on slopes)

My legs are now a kind of tired!

Picture from today, Sunday at half past one a clock p.m.

Tons of snow. It will take them 2-3 days to prepare the slope perfectly! I can't wait for it! :D Meanwhile "Le Col" is incredible!
