4 days of superb skiing, eating gargantuan, guffaws, and big emotions. Silvia
Thursday night and I arrive in Selva Val Gardena. He has just finished snowing, the country is bleached under 30cm of light powder having temperatures "winter" ... but the timing marks in April??
As always, the night does not flow. Anxiety keeps me awake and struggling to reach 6.30 with the continuous sleep ... then do not take it anymore em'alzo. It's sunny. The snow is cold. I decide to Alpe di Siusi.
It is a plateau between the enchanted and Sassopiatto Schile ... a fabulous place to ski with his girlfriend or family ... absolutely unsuitable for off-piste!! The slopes are so commonplace that it is hard to do some pretty cool line ... you can not get out in the woods ...
miuti or walking a few km on the hill after the launch ... but not much ... but my Silvietta gives me great satisfaction ... these deserted highways are ideal for perfecting his technique ... I take this opportunity to turn switch ... at least we are on an equal footing ...
down there the focella Sassolungo, I can think of pages and the famous crossing Tremolada ... who knows that there must be snow there ... maybe tomorrow ... I
who knows what the boys will stay at Corvatsch sclero ... combining a bit '... but then I see Silvia get punched in the face with a smile ... and I am happy also to be the flat-land ... this
Saturday we go to Plan de Gralba for skiing under the Sassolungo. It's sunny here but the snow is still good, protected by the wall of the mountain. Above, the sun heats up and down continuously from the top of the lava flows are very impressive ... ... but I think fans who make the crossing would be a bit risky ... mah.
last tracks are a bit 'more serious Alpe have fun ... so much more. Silvia also breaks out and runs really well on the higher slopes. While she takes to the track I unleashed in the woods, jumping everywhere I can.
Around 13:00 stop at the refuge, 7 hours of yesterday are felt ... I unleashed! Walk for 10 'at the base of Sassolungo. Arriving on a beautiful valley overlooking the ski lift. Virgin. Unfortunately, the clouds darken a bit 'visibility and are forced to descend in the white a bit' muffled ... but the line is wonderful ... I stop, I turn to gaze at those four corners is not the Holzer ... but I'm proud! !
The sky is growing dark, and then point under the cable car Piz Sella where I saw a pretty angry entry. Within a wall at 50 degrees (I think, was very vertical) with a rock in the middle ... or ... or jump through a friend pine used as rope overcome the hurdle es'apre a beautiful grove practically virgin ... the cable car line ... I see my em 'notice as to the right, past the safety net, there is more material to grind! The entrance is a bit 'of murderess ... I fear that at any moment arrive to arrest some Caramba! But nothing, it goes and it's still a nice downhill ...
I move to the right of the chair ... Ciampinoi need to make a long traverse a slope overlooking a beautiful forest ... and then open the show.
I'll be back up quickly, ready for another run ... but it snow Silvia strong and I believe lost! I give up and go down to the car ... we must go to doing the Sella Predazzo to Canazei ... and snow ...
On the way back from a cross-Tavolara Valley Lasties ... blessed ... but I'm not complaining.
Sunday: The weather gave bad ... in fact the day is marked by high clouds that flow rapidly filtered by the sun every now and then. Everybody is sleeping. Lusia only go up to me and Teo. He skis 198cm with straight binary as a bit ... oh well scieremo 'ovviamnte along the track. Given the day I do not even port I put the camera ... not even the beacon but, fortunately, put it in your backpack. Here the snow to the north it seems really good ... I see the tracks down and study possible ... we do a couple of black just to keep warm. As always it quegl'assi ski even before the war is a real show.
the second lap is a curious thing: I'm hooking up the table released by the eggs before you get on track. We will be a dozen people between Tavolara and not pass a cop ... em'ammonisce to ski only on the track! But why me?? We go down ... but I would not go down. On the next lap I see it ... I reached him to ask for explanations. It's actually a colleague but ... I ask him the reason for this prohibition, however, if there are special conditions istabilità, orders or other ... after having weighed up and realized that I'm not a naive unbuttons: if you go down below the pillars in view of everyone, after 5 seconds is full of kids who might get hurt ... better to go where no one is seen by anyone ... not even from us!
Beautiful strength ... but I do not know ... "But I tell you," he is a policeman! INCREDIBLE me discover two amazing runs completely virgin snow and having exposure to scream to the north and the beautiful forest that protects the slope. The first eggs of their own right, under the cornice of snow (to be evaluated carefully) lowers in Valbona. Four runs in line with more sustained recovery in the undergrowth that emerge from time to time ... you fall down on the path that allows an easy return to the eggs. Meeting again ... thank you very much cop, there is a beautiful snow. I see someone going up in the avalanche contend two curves in the middle of the track, unaware that a little further on there is paradise. But there is still the second to be discovered ... herds. From the chairlift Cune, make a short traverse to gain access to a beautiful valley. Nice and easy curves before jumping to his feet and into the woods quite intricate. Check on the bed of the stream, still covered except a few holes. Step carefully, I would not swim!
I'll be back up ... but the weather turns his back on me. While I make the traverse I find myself surrounded by a cloud and I struggle to orient myself. Everything is white and smooth. Every so often one comes out rocks or shrub to remember the direction. I decide that it is unwise to continue. Cutting to the left and return to the shelter Lusia. From here, I throw myself into the woods towards Valbona. Still a virgin and beautiful. Last around the eggs ... but further to the right. Here are signs of old slab avalanches. I do some 'tests, but the snow is nice and stable. I get off at the side of the old download. I find myself in a new valley parallel to the previous one, but completely intact. Flight with the fast corners in the trees and come out on the stream on the bridge and then return to the eggs. How not to make yet another run??
Monday: at last we all! I, Silvia, Teo, Fra, Busca and Julia ... Pampeago-Obereggen destination. It's sunny though a few clouds, gradually less frequent, fast-flowing over our heads. In part there is a strong wind, cold and the snow is really winter. Fortunately, as soon as you move down the wind stops and you can ski free. Silvietta now turn to the top ... because she has earned him new boots and after two days non stop today is really nice and smooth and I'm really proud (especially since my son served straight !!!). Teo is practically home and guiding us safely to Obereggen ... we follow ... inventing tricks and lines on the track. Today, the day devoted to funcazzeggio with friends because it has not snowed yesterday, wind and sun should have done the rest. No backpack, no shovel and avalanche transceiver nothing ... well, from now on stop reading because I did exactly what you should do that a thousand times that I have deprecated and urge you not to emulate.
The boys stop the cabin ... but I see a beautiful grove in the Lamb. You go. There are several lines but you can still draw a lot. The first piece in the trees, then you open up a stream with beautiful Saltini among the rocks. While known to date back to the right a beautiful untouched valley below the snow sheds.
the wind to work for then there should be no dangerous excess. Arriving at the mouth ... but is being tracked! But as a second ago she was a virgin?!?! I get off the snow ... beautiful, beautiful curves and then pull back into the main valley. At the start of the cable car I met four snowboarders who know far ahead of me ... will always be a step for the two subsequent descents. Third
run ... now I move to the left. Even their tracks ... still beautiful snow. This channel is more like half-pipe and turn around curves on the sides that is a show!
Even while resting on the chair lift ... I meditate on that track by that skialp cross right over ... you can use to do that shoulder ...
said that point in that direction ... and those 4 still ahead! Arrive at my shoulder but I notice that their tracks to a link on the left collar. I do and enticed away. Access to a nice recessed channel between the rocks.
The wind rises and the entrance has formed a pinnacle that the first push from above gives a few meters. ... Tuned. Fortunately, most under the snow remained dusty and there are no deposits ... in fact the wind has flattened without ruining it by making it more secure. I get out in one breath enjoying this gift! They cut right to fit more easily ... I shoot straight because the snow is great and finally open the first track! Arriving on the road before the tunnel ... a 10 minute walk but I am very happy despite the tiredness (4 days after the bomb start to feel fatigue).
thank for all this abundance, for the snow to the mountains, for the time and for the "care" from there. Silvia
the call to order ... must have been a quick descent into the woods and ... as usual. Let's go skiing in the late afternoon. Loosen the snow but it is wonderful. Time flies and we do not realize that it is too late to return to the parking lot. Oh well ... luckily there is the ski bus. Last pizza all together ... and tiramisu last toast to Julia eaten by the spoonful onto the hood of the Micra and the twilight paints the sky in shades of blue and purple ... we are full of happiness for having passed between us beautiful day in beautiful places. We have to go to Milan but we are full of deep emotions. My book "Freeride in Dolomiti" remained in the suitcase ... but I have no regrets because these magical mountains are granted, reveal some of their many "secret gardens". Thanks.
N: B: TO ADDRESS SECURITY IN AN Off Piste (even the most 'trivial NEAR THE TRACKS) E' 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 THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE TIME off-piste skiing, but do not stop THE ONLY BULLETIN: SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE POST CAREFULLY THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROUTE AND DECIDE WHETHER THE LAST TIME TO GIVE UP IF and not 'SECURE OR TOO RISKY.
