Today I realized that bad luck and luck really have an edge ... especially labile in the mountains where conditions change from minute to minute, where now there is good snow, now split, now jelly, where you sometimes find 40cm of fresh air before her, the other you can not enjoy because the clouds affect the games.
left Milan Passo Tonale destination. The idea is to make the Pisganino maybe going up to the Horns of BEDOLE. When we get there is beautiful sunshine, but the wind pushes already threatening clouds. The tip of the Adamello is hidden.
Presena Going up to the glacier begins to snow. It's cold. Maybe I'm dressed a little 'light. The descent to Mandrone m'infreddolisce even more. I can not wait to get their skins and start climbing. There are several inches of new snow. It seems that the rapid disruption of the night he has made many more than the expected 5 cm. But under the snow is running. At some points it sinks into dangerous holes. The south does not help. At one point we feel a bit 'lost.
clouds swallow the lines and even out the landscape. Fortunately, many ants in front of us who already go up to people to Pisgana Pisganino. In addition, the GPS gives us valuable track a vague idea that we must go a little 'further.
now get their skins. Although the snow is soft to immediately put in more rampant as a precaution. We climb. As always the first 200 meters are a bit 'heavy but then the rhythm comes in, the legs turn, regulates the heartbeat and breathing becomes continuous. Just below the neck and the slope increases never become extreme ... even if some skialp lies down (heh heh ... I have the rampant !!!).
the collar pulls a wind and cold ... I'm sweaty (as usual) and I have put everything I have before freezing. The group is back together. In the meantime, has joined us at a table equipped with another boy, will prove a pleasant knowledge for future projects. We aim to
Horns discourage even if the clouds but I want to do more and also drop Beber (in great shape) paws.
arrive just below the horns and .... the sky is torn. The sun illuminates the "bathtub" of Pisganino showing well-40cm of fresh ready for us.
Those who have already started down screaming and enjoy. The pace speeds up thinking about the descent. We arrive at the top. Photos of the rite.
Not a sandwich, now we are preparing for the descent, we must seize the moment. Seeking a place to accommodate all. I realize that the operations to re-unite the split, remove the skins and are settling down a bit 'long. I laced the table, raised his head ready to go ... and clouds everywhere! Beber has already dropped by 50 meters, but I can not even see it. I hear his I take voice but not even the shadow. We wait. Worse. Starts to snow. Change the lens in favor of the yellow. None. Do you see a bat. We wait. Even worse. Beber calls, but we do not see it either. A few more minutes. Now the clouds are raised just enough to catch the details of the tracks in front of us. This is the time, now we will see the sun. Let's go. The snow is beautiful. After a few meters back good visibility.
Certainly not the sun but better than the white-out than before. Greedy devour the slope playing with the tracks, crossing and ollandole on. We arrive at the bottom where you have to channel in a must (although in reality there was left a beautiful virgin channel that could be done).
Here the snow is heavy. In addition to those already tritatissima went before us. Now the fun is over. We know that there is only "return". We arrive in the valley that flowed was named "Valley of avalanches. I remember some cold ice forced a dribling Tavolara exhausting for us.
This year, the descent is much more agile. We get to the forest (where four bold old men with long beards that looked like elves of the forest, with lots of crap mountain guide, we have also stripped sciandosi ram, rocks and pine cones!) And in short, to the Bear Tavern.
regained the machine you stop for a well-deserved beer ... and already talking about future trips and downs in the tray. The weather escape but there is still time to enjoy these remnants of winter.
N: B: TO ADDRESS SECURITY IN AN Off Piste (even the most 'trivial near the slopes) and' needs you HAVE transceiver (ON TRANSMISSION IN) shovel and probe. Improvised NOT IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE AREA OR SNOW. ASK A QUALIFIED ALL INFORMATION ON THE CONDITIONS OF DANGEROUS ROUTES AND AREAS THAT ONLY THOSE AWARE OF THE POST. ESSENTIAL FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY AND 'PLAN FOR A HOUSE TIME THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE off-piste, but do not stop ONLY BULLETIN: SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE POST CAREFULLY THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROUTE AND DECIDE WHETHER THE LAST TIME TO GIVE UP AND IF YOU DO NOT 'SAFE OR TOO RISKY.
