Last Tirolian powder

Last Tirolian powder

Insert: 14.04.2014
Maybe one of last powder days, Kuba Novotný had the luck to ride, balls deeps pow at Zillertal. So check it out. Gallery will follow...


Almost the whole of March in the Zillertal was very sunny , the snow was disappearing almost as quickly as my sun cream. In addition to riding in the park I tried to clim several nice summits around, where we had excellent conditions , especially when we woke up early and everything was still frozen . At the end of the month I had fun but it sleeps , so slowly packing up and going to leave to my home. Weather forecast showed a nice powder days which changed my plans , forcing me to wait a few more days and enjoy my late powder season.

On Sunday, I woke up early and went with my crew straight outside to heavy pow day. There was nobody on the slopes and clear foot of snow , we we could not even move our ass through the snowpack. Sometimes there is a bit of ice under the snow and sometimes it comes to feel hard base under powder, so we use the line in the deserted resort a few meters next from the ski lifts .A whole day was dumping and dumping, every hour another five centimeters.

Monday has not changed at all. No significant change in the weather , and still dumping . We caught the first rope. Conditions are ideal for steep places, small sluffs wereall aroubnd us, but this is more for entertainment than a bugaboo . Everywhere there are pilows made of snow , so it is possible to drop almost from anywhere . Just great . Once we saw some cliffs we just jumped off. Sooo soft landings.

The next day is my last , the sky , the sun returns again and the terrains which were easily accessible from the lifts are rutted . We had to go a little further to the backcountry. It's a beautiful day , perfect visibility , I took my favorite lines. Although we had to hike a bit we made several nice couloirs. The best ride of the season. In the evening I was almost dead but totally satisfied , so now really packing up things and I'm going on a trip towards spring.
