Beber Saturday and I decided to go to Davos for a taste 'of the powder fell Wednesday. Abstinence makes bad jokes and make us a 260km gitarella scheduled for Friday on the fly looks like a normal thing.
arrive in Davos and now quite a roadblock is a reminder that the great of the earth are gathered here to discuss the economic crisis. Let us be free, while a 80 westfalia is immediately stopped and searched (just had a face like a black blocks).
overcome the big alpine town to take us to a remote village, Litzirüti. Here the road ends in a beautiful park. 8.30 am full of skialper ready to go (but who are ????). The rest is paid 5 francs to put into a white envelope on which to write the license plate. There have been thirty cars. Obviously no one would ever think of not paying, or even take the money degl'altri. I've got that I thought I was the only Italian for miles (as well Beber who is French).
start with. The track is well done es'inoltra suffered in a dense forest.
Beber part with his head down and I limped a bit cold '. Passed the forest we find ourselves the right of the stream. Looking at the GPS we were a bit 'off track but it seemed to be able to return later. The realzione was not clear (I found it only in German and translated by google ... no comment).
We go out in a beautiful valley. Some date back to the tracks, turn left onto a step. I seem consistent with the plan and the report of the trip.
continue to rise. We meet a group of kids who ask us. They do not seem to know exactly where they are going against it ... for us, covering the GPS, we were off 2 km from the track edge. And now? Join them did not seem like a great idea. Go to the case either.
You need to go and return the original track. At the moment it seems to me that it is enough just to get back, so do not join the split but I go down with the half-boards and mounted skins. At the end sacrifice 200/300 meters of beautiful snow, and maybe I'll lose more time to disassemble / reassemble ... but as they say "Every cloud has no silver lining" ... so I learned to get off with half logs with a style like "telemark "and with much more confidence (sometimes happens in trips to a few yards down the hill and in the past, it was quite tragic). Resume
the track. Are 11.30 and we are still missing 800 meters (at the end of 1100 gitarella meters turned into one by 1400 and tomorrow ... I also SA1 !!!!).
We share even more determined to recover the lost time. The lower part is a bit 'ice and warmed by the sun, but high in the snow is fantastic with very few traces of descent from this side. Already the idea of \u200b\u200bthrill ride so much stuff.
But by the hill, the surprise: the north side that had to be even more dust, it was all crushed! But how?? It snowed today is Wednesday ... Saturday ... but the people here do not work?? In addition, there are no plants ... you have to sweat!
What do we do? We return from the south side (with virgin snow, but worse) or from the north side, but closing a chopped fine ring? Beber vote for the latter. In fact, the sense of the trip is not only the powder but also see a new place. But they can not pull at least two curves in the snow uncut I rode. I am where I racked my brains when I see a possible line between the rocks coming down from the cross.
line of contention. Beber disagrees and opposes insistence. Too bad it's bigwigs ... also tell me no more .... Arriving on the crest
and assess the snow. The wind has left a slight ripple back but did not accumulate there. Snow is not cohesive (another good sign) but is made from faceted corners. Dig a little 'just to see what lies beneath. 30 cm, placed on a hard floor. I push the board still ... ok.
Parto. Beber controls me from the channel. The first meters are attentive to potential rock outcrops. I push on the first corner and comes off a slush of snow is not cohesive. Now there is enough fund to go straight to straight without hesitation. Paint 4 bends and are already in the end ... nothing special but at least they are "mine."
chopped ... The rest is pretty good in snow but they can get nice curves.
from the nearby Rothspitz see some skialper get gorgeous with beautiful lines ... if we had not wasted time ... but we could ripellare now it's too late.
go down to the chalets dispersed in the heart of the mountain. They're all here (almost a crowd). There is a course
SA1 Swiss who practice on a field test transceiver prepared by Mammut ... just another world.
From here, go down to the machines on roads. While I think the long return journey home and, anyway, I know that it is worth it.
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 TO PEOPLE ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION REGARDING 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.
