Sunny, sunnier, sunniest 🙂 After weeks of rain and bad weather summer strikes back again… But as I never have enough of winter and skiing, I joined mountaineering guide and buddy Otti Hauer (http://www.skischule-tirol.at/) to hike and ski the Weißseespitze…
Oh man, getting up THAT early… 4 a.m. wake up call… But when there is beautiful weather outside and you know the goals for the day, it’s definetely worth it…

We started around 6.30 a.m., hiked the first meters to the entry of the face until we had to put up the crampons and work our way up the mountain… Equipped with crampons, skis on the back and pick… 50 degrees steepness at some parts of the mountain, so no mistake allowed…
Got up to the top around 9.30 a.m. and had an amazing view from up there!
Another great day on the mountain!!!!
Thxxx to Otti!!!!
…My back and my knee is killing me as hiking up on crampons was hard work and the snow-conditions for skiing down were hard and bumpy (we waited on top of the mountain till 11 a.m. but the snow didn’t soften up…) and this is the worst situation for my knee… But it seems like, that I always learn through pain 😉 …No pain, no gain 😉
Skis are now finally put away in the cellar, waxed and are waiting to be skied again in autumn/winter… Looking already forward!!!! 🙂
