…back on skis…

The weather prediction for Wednesday: sunshine and blue sky, so I called Pia what she is up to do… She and her skibuddies had planned to go to the Hintertux glacier and ski there…

I couldn’t resist – knee felt alright, such a beautiful day, spending it at the PHT or on the mountain? No question – mountain 🙂

We were amazed how much snow had already melted up on the mountain!!! A lot of wet snow avalanches had come down and the winter season seems to be quite over for this year?!

...

Unbelievable, isn’t it????!!!! It’s not even April and the conditions are like in May… We were talking about that the “Piefke Saga” is really becoming true and in a few years we won’t have any glaciers, any snow to ski on anymore 😦 Not so unrealistic and that really makes me think 😦 Where is that all gonna lead to???

It was my first day skiing in the backcountry again after having torn my ACL 3 1/2 weeks ago. Usually you start off again at least 6 weeks after the injury if you haven’t had a surgery… Still quite early to be back on snow but I can’t help it – I LOVE SKIING 🙂 and when it’s beautiful outside I just love it being in the mountains :-)… It felt okay with my knee brace on during the time skiing but automatically I put more weight on the healthy leg… Skiing means having a lot of pressure on the knees and you can feel that perfectly when you’re not healthy ;-)… I was happy on that day that I had a meeting with my physio who triggered my muscles, loosening my strain which helped a lot!!! ThXXX GUDI, you are AWESOME!!!! I’m not able to ski every day yet but I’ll be keeping on working hard to get stronger and stronger and stronger ;-)…

I really enjoyed the day with Pia, Matze and Mankei, just cruising around spotting out some potential film lines for the possibility that it snows again soon…

…and the weather forecast says so! So for those who haven’t had enough snow this winter – lets pray for snow!!!! 😉

Mankei, Mel, Matze, Pia 🙂
