Destination for today: Pitztal… More precisely: Mittagskogel 3162 m / Pitztal. Quite easy accessible by going up with the “Stollenbahn” (sorry, don’t know the english word for that 😉 – skilift would be another word…). From there it’s around a half an hour hike to the top of the Mittagskogel. Last year there has been the first edition of the “Pitztal Wildface Race” where the competitors ski all the way from the top of the Mittagskogel all the way down to Mandarfen. 1510 hm!!!! That’s pretty tough 🙂 Fastest guy on skis was Peter Wurzer, took him 6.51 min to ski down the face! More info on http://www.pitztal-wildface.com
It’s my first video edit, so not really good quality 😉 Working on it ;-)…
Here are some more pix…
We didn’t take the “normal” route – skied down the North Face of Mittagskogel. I guess not that many people go down there 😉 The last snowfall was two weeks ago and unbelievable but we still skied pow 🙂 There were two tracks in the face, the other tracks were all going the normal route… The face looks quite spectacular, it’s not that steep but very rocky, so we had to take it easy at the upper bit… Sluff was greeting and rocky conditions, so better to not go crazy 😉
Did the face twice and two quite similar routes, as the conditions were surprisingly good 🙂 1500 hm in one run – not bad 😉
Thxxxx to my skibuddy Mankei 🙂 Was another great day on the mountain 🙂
