Ostern 2008 auf Skitour im Allgäu


This year my easter holidays were a constant up and down. But not because of my mood, don´t worry. I went with Vincent to Oberstdorf where we had rented a little room. From there we made daytrips to several different mountain tops. Vincent had tourskies and I walked up with snowshoes, my snowboard on the back and then boarded down. Some days the weather was just perfect...sun.blue sky and a good track up to th top of the mountain. Other days it did not stop snowing, one could not see more than 10m and the deep snow was just killing the leg muscles on the way up. In total we managed around 5 tours, whereby we only went 3 times all the way to the top. Since there was so much snow, we also had to wear avalanche equippment and read the weatherforecast for the most dangerous hillsides every day. Even though I sometimes had the feeling I reached my boundaries when I was lying exhausted in the deep snow, to worn out to stand up again from falling and not managing to keep the tip of the board from getting under the snow. But over all I really enjoyed the tour and will try again nexxt time with tour skis as well. Here are some of the good-weather pictures in the gallerie:
