Everything for powder

Everything for powder

Kitzbühel, Sport Gastein, Gerlos ...

Insert: 14.03.2010
After a leisurely way, they decide to stop in Sport Gastein, it is high pitched and the forecast promised "freezing level" from 1000m. In unpacking goods in a parking Filip found out critical issue. He forot a backpack with pants, glasses and avalanche equipment! After a while he curses and find out where he could lose it and he made unexpected decision: I'm going to ride in double jeans and sunglasses. He kept riding for the whole 4 days in the frost, snow, fog and sunshine. RESPECT!



Finally, we moved out on the slope and find that there were an overnight snowfall and we can shoot something. Me and Jan we're the first time here so we leave the choice of line for young guns. We are riding smaller lines and hitting smaller cliffs, because of bad snow condition. Mainly forests with pillows are amazing in this area. At the end of the day we packej our gear and headed to Kitzühel for apartement.

The second day we set went to the resort Gerlos. On the place we saw that it does not look good for anything, so we choose exploring strategy. We're headed across the resort to the other side and sometimes try to find the least bit of powder, but nothing. In addition, we went to the creek where occured to me as snb rider uncomfortable situation and I was walking all the way in very difficult terrain. This day we found only a bit of powder. So no shooting and nothing to talk about.

Third day we woke up to even whorse weather, so the decision falls to the local resort Kitzbühel. Drove through the slopes and watching the Hanenkamm, which is full of humps. We continued to resort and Kárník stayed in pub and told us that if we volna find the powder, we shoul let him know. We found a coule of couloirs with powder. But due to ice under powder, Filip and David made a coule of small avalanches. So we called Karnik from pub and headed to some shooting. At the end of the day we are happy and tired.

Is the last day and morning and we wish that the snowforecast is wrong, unfortunately not, it is foggy and i tis snowing hard. Kitzbühel is selected again, this time the second half which we missed the last day. The scenario is repeated because of the hard snowing, powder snow, and below this ice. After a few lines in the woods we find a snow field, finally, we do not feel a nice under powder and we are riding pure pow pow, and we are enjoying it a lot. Brothers Sedlak are trying to drop some kind of building, but David is sputtering on the edge of the roof and has a lot of work in the air. So waiting for Philip and he passed it on the roof and we judge that the metal roof is not the right thing to drop in. I take pictures of a fly-throughs bushes in heavy snowfall. Coule of shots done and we are heading to Czech Repulic. Thanks to travel agency Nev-Dama.
