Ikusa Otome Suvia Online

2 giorni in Adamello

Adamello season begins!
Unlike other times of the refuge Lobbia is still closed, and completely lack the tracks we are used to: Cresta Cross is a virgin, as is the whole plan of virgin snow and even the glacier of Lares. Saturday are drawn only to the passage Pisgana and the pace of Valletta. I

Simo fellow with facilities that we take will lead us to three thousand meters Tonal pitch Presena. In the cable car I discover that one of my sticks has no desire to work as it should, I will whole two days with only a stick: (

Almost all go up to the Passo Presena to go in the direction of Pian di Neve's just me Simon and a group of 8 persons. this track è vecchia di qualche giorno, quasi completamente cancellata dal vento. L'esperienza insegna...Lasciamo partire il gruppone e ci accodiamo a distanza risparmiando le forze per le ore che verranno....Scopriamo ben presto che verso il pian di Neve è tutto immacolato e il gruppone che ci precede prende la direzione del passo della Valleta. Non ci resta che violare la parte alta della vedretta del Mandron tracciando in un paio di metri di neve fresca.


Sotto il rifugio abbandoniamo cucina e viveri, con gli zaini più leggeri attacchiamo il pendio di Cresta Croce.


easily reach the ski and crampons, we begin to walk the snowy ridge that will take us to 4 meters from the summit cross.



for us here and we ended up going back to the slopes and a slope of virgin snow everything for us.
retrieved from the kitchen go up, not without difficulty, to the shelter.



Located on a winter there shovel and get rid of eachother access.
Inside is all very nice (and very new) sin:

1) The electric heater is not working (and what is a mega solar panel just outside the door?)
2) The light does not work
3) Missing gas !

Luckily we have our stove and, after having placed a duty, we are going to make us dinner ... Bad discovery should open the tap that has seized the gas! The situation is not very rosy in the winter without being able to melt the snow (and drinking!) Is the real risk of compromising the ride! Fortunately, Simon is a true engineer! Using the straps of the ski (!) Can unlock the tap and make me turn away from the snow melt with the lighter (I remain convinced that without more would have been a winning idea:))


After thorough ate can go to bed: under 5 blankets and clothes at all points is almost warm.

Sunday, the day begins early, at 6 we are already out of the shelter with the skis pointed at the White horn. Of course it's all to be traced, but after my feeble attempt, Simon looks at the situation and this leads both panoramic summit, not without a shudder the final because of a skin (by myself) that do not wanted to know to be attached to the ski.

Dawn


last few meters before the snow ridge


Cima!



The snow and all this is so inconsistent, better get off the road up! Hump \u200b\u200bon slopes decided restore to us the Mandron of the glacier.


do now to pick up the descent of Pisgana?
two choices: fly to the track pitch Venice, or to lose two hundred meters rejoining the track that goes to the step of Valletta. We opt for the latter hypothesis.
The difference is content to be covered, just 600 meters, but are tired and have a stick in less does not help me. I suffer, I suffer so much but finally arrived!


Now all downhill, and downhill! Do the curves with the powder to the knee is really cool! The tiredness from us and we can enjoy and understand this discesona that we will complete in just 1.30 h!


Cool Urbanoutfitters Like Quilts

Giro del Pisganino (da P.sso Tonale a Ponte di Legno) sottotitolo: Gita sci-opportunustica

CHESPETTACOLO!!
Today we ride the good old Fausto and I, who tell the truth does not seem born near the first half of last century, it must be like a kid in both uphill and downhill! Day trip in the footsteps of Simon and Andrew, who are already in the area since Saturday. I say ski mountaineering trip / opportunistic because we share to get to the lifts Tonale.
The goal is the great basin that opens behind the top Presena wide valley with gentle slopes and dotted with mountain peaks that fill our hearts by passing through our eyes. Presena by step to reach the floor above ref. Mandrone, from there to step back and then down Pisgana exciting light on snow light up the slopes of Ponte di Legno.
But space is reserved for more pictures (and video) which describes very well the most beautiful skiing on a ski mountaineering trip I've ever done.

here is the path

our goal (the hill above my head) ...

and other photos of our Faus ...
... and me after a flight due to a Scripting poorly calibrated (and because of the fact that I can not ski)

here (also) our tracks

our hill is a bit 'more steeply to the left of the center picture, the one that goes to the right is the turn of Pisgana omonomo glacier and crosses the hill coming from Venice, reunite just before the forest above Ponte

But as the cake is finally here ... a performance of the dragonfly Cai Brugherio! light light ...

What Is The Most Lightweight Metal

Refuge de Tré la Teté

Primo post in trasferta!

Vi scrivo dalla Francia, e più precisamente da Les Contamines Montjoie, tranquillo paesino situato ai piedi del Monte Bianco versante francese.

Finalmente dopo una troppo lunga sessione d’esame qualche giorno per andare a fare un giro, sfruttando gli ultimi giorni di inverno, e cogliendo l’occasione per unire le due delle mie più grandi passioni, la montagna e l’auto.

Io e Medio perciò siamo venuti qui in Francia per fare un paio di giorni di montagna e poi per andare al salone dell’auto di Ginevra, che si trova a circa un’ora da qui.

Siamo arrivati ieri verso le due, il tempo non era dei migliori, nuvole basse e troppo caldo; di neve ce n’è, a dire il vero un po’ poca in paese, però va bene.

Visto che è già pomeriggio decidiamo di fare un po’ di sci di fondo giusto per allenarsi.

Oggi ci alziamo e le nuvole non avevano cambiato altezza, il piano originale era di fare una sciata di discesa, ma viste le condizioni siamo passati al piano B, camminata!


Decidiamo di andare al rifugio Tré la Teté, il sentiero parte dietro casa, e sono circa 800 metri di dislivello.

Il sentiero parte very well marked, so he moves without the slightest problem, in the meantime, clouds are melting away and you get to see something.



At one point the track totally fucked and we're walking in fresh snow, which significantly increases the difficulty, however, decide to reach the refuge, although some pieces have the snow to to life, and we have to swim in the snow to proceed.

In any case we still get to the shelter (closed), to repay the effort and fortunately we have a nice view.




After a short break, we decided to get off to go home to eat.

The descent goes by fast and soon we get home.

after lunch to finish the day in going to do a little 'cross-country skiing which is always good!

Okay so tomorrow is a day of rest at the Geneva Motor Show!
