@navigium Snow is coming in force until low altitude next 72 hours. It's going to slip on the roads too...

@Dom HB9HLI yeah, I'm looking forward to that snow! I hope there is not too much wind this time so its distributed more evenly.

Another beautiful #skitouring day, still not enough snow but it was astonishingly skiable... #mountains

@Gian_Giachen Also es braucht dringend noch etwas Schnee. Im Moment nur Touren mit alten Skis und defensivem Fahrstil empfohlen... Und möglichst viel Gras, wenig Steine. 🙈

I have to admit, I'm quite jealous!

@NYbill The base of the cross on the summit. I had a picture of the whole cross but sadly put my finger on the camera. I keep doing this on mobile phones...

And the box contains the summit register book.

Stössenstock - almost...

Today was another more or less perfect day. All you have to do is get up early and be there before the masses arrive... 😉 #skitouring #skiing

@navigium
Easy solution to that problem: Do SSTV. :)

@Marshall Sutherland I honestly don't know for sure. There is no stream or other water source marked on the map. However before it got cold again it was raining into the already melting snowcover. I'm guessing that the water comes from a combination of heavy rain and melting snow. I haven't been to this place before so I don't know whether the ice is there every winter.

@abortretryfail 😂 Honestly I like my pictures at a somewhat higher resolution.

@Gian_Giachen Wir waren früh unterwegs, der Schnee war perfekt und wir waren die ersten am Gipfel. Unten kamen uns dan ganz viele entgegen, aber vermutlich die meisten für den Rütistein...

@navigium super wenn man es so antrifft! Der forstberg ist halt auch dankbar. Wir weichen sonst ins ruhigere sihltal neben dran aus..

@Gian_Giachen Ich bin halt selten auf der Seite der Mythen. Aber ja, für die aktuelle Situation ist der Forstberg eine recht gute Wahl. Vor allem als kurze Vormitrags-Skitour. Es geht zügig hoch und runter. 😉

@Beni Grind ~HB9HNT: What kind of skis and boots do you use for touring (as opposed to downhill gear)? What’s the difference?

Beni Grind ~HB9HNT

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 21:22:14 +0100

The boots have vibram soles for the climbing part and have a setting for walking up where you can still bend your ankle when walking. The ski bindings also have a waling mode where you can release your heel to walk up. The skis are generally lighter and built for off piste snow conditions. Of course you need climbing skins to walk up.

@navigium but that's where the fun would be. Trying to drive something up there 😂

Seriously though, it's to beautiful to spoil by taking a 4x4 anywhere near it. You would find me in a bar at the bottom of the mountain looking up taking in the senary. 😃

Are those clouds we are looking down on in the first picture?

Beni Grind ~HB9HNT

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 11:46:39 +0100

@Marshall Sutherland From wheren I stood, yes. The poeple down in the valley more likely called it fog. AFAIK the definiton of fog is a cloud you're standing in. 😉
