From Austria with Love II

https://vimeo.com/58832293

I love riding superbowl sunday, the game draws everyone away from the pow.  Funny thing here in Austria, no game,  and still no crowd.  Forecaster called for 10-20cm, 60-80cm…. and the top was closed all  day.    One my best pow days of the season!  Pure ridiculous silliness!!!  Riding  a three dimensional white room cluless of up down or where I was at or  going. So awesome.  Another 10-20 for tomorrow, free refills!!!

From Austria with Love

After a minor bag mishap it was time to get on the snow.  Bought a 7.50 euro one time gondy ticket, and then put the splitboard together.  We skinned for a couple hours to the top of this couloir.

Snowing on the hill right now and is forecast through the weekend.  Can wait to get some more pow….
