On the third weekend of Advent to Moritz, Michael and I have made the trip to Sell Rain. Despite predicted snowfall and bad weather we were in good spirits, after all, the avalanche danger was at 2 Behind the long pass was only half as much Snow as before, and I was actually already skeptical whether it really was enough of the white matter. Since we were quite late in being on the spot, we decided the relatively short trip to get to the Mitterzaigerkopf. The weather alternated between snow and fog. Since there was still no sign, they said to us after a long time again to create a track. Most of which has Moritz, as the strongest, taken over. The diffuse visibility made this track one or two avoidable detours, but it could not easily tell if we are high, or just run down and what happens next. Nevertheless, we made good progress and save a critical point in which we had acceded by the diffuse light, Everything was without significant problems. We really looked forward to the departure, after all, we can find an untracked powder slope is not every day happening. And the weather seemed to be better and cleared up a little towards the summit. When we leave after a short rest, but wanted to, we saw before us only know: A cloud moved slowly up the valley and had almost reached the summit. Thus, nothing in our powder dream. We were looking in the downhill on permanent display at the track to rise no edges. Nevertheless, we were the odd times in the snow - I was to go there again because I no longer knew whether I drive or standing. This time I was really glad when I finally got in the car and the cabin was - in the snow like fog I do not.
After a leisurely morning at the Dortmund hut we were again on Sunday weather cross. After Moritz first of all have had to go to a shop and we had then driven the wrong parking lot, it was again late, until we went off. But here was a beautiful trail through the forest on the Issalm. Even the sun came out briefly in the sky and we were once again hope for a great run. We took our time during the ascent and after we had reached the upper floors, moved - who, surprise - inside a cloud. This could not be true. Fortunately, one could see but at least a few contours and so was himself the first slope a beautiful powder ride. The two lower slopes did not really sleep mood, before the final stretch through the forest are back.
All in all it was a successful start to the season with 2 powder slopes ever twice as many as the entire last season. I look forward to more :-)
