Preparations for Free Ride Skiing in Winter

Free Ride Slopes in Tyrol

Winter is coming and the want to go free ride skiing is urging. With longtime experience we know that a good free ride slope has to be prepared carefully. First of all, it is important to know the area pretty well, so one won’t get lost or hit a rock, when snow has fallen and view is bad. If you’ve found your favourite route, you should check capability of the route under loads of fresh powder.

Preparations for Free Ride Skiing in Voldertal

In Voldertal in Tyrol we’ve found an interesting free ride skiing slope. The one problem is that there is a steep, high cliff, which seperates the two parts of the free ski route. There is no way through – but the free ride skiing slope would be a lot of fun.

So we decided to make ready a spot for abseiling to enable free ride skiing in winter. Therefore we have to climb up the steep cliff and fix a stout climbing rope for abseiling at this point. We need a lot of profession to do our dangerous work without getting hurt.

Work done we made ready an abseil-spot which is fixed professionally. Here some pictures of our preparations for the free ride skiing slope in Voldertal. Soon there will be some fresh snow. We can’t wait to visit the spot again: But the next time we’ll be there on ski wearing warm winter gear.

FIRST TRACKS IN FRESH SNOW – :-)

APPARELTEST WITH TRICKY CONDITIONS

today i went for a fast test in one of my testing areas around innsbruck,  the goal was to have 3 colder hours turning into hot hours to feel the products working cold to warm during first tracking in deep fresh snow. reward after fighting powder is a good ride. reaching 1100 cet it was amazing to see avalanches going down left and right every minute including fresh powder becoming slush within moments. nature is a good teacher. michele


First snow is on!

50 cm of fresh snow – decent conditions and easy testing. from today on it is not necessary to drive many km to ride some good snow. michele
