 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folks.
Wondering if any on here had been down this run before - in particular the lower bit, the 'Schumacher Streif'? Keen to know if it gets regularly groomed, or if it's one of these runs that's left to mogul for a week's on end?
Cheers!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Very nice run, top bit to the chair is like a good red with a few steep pitches. Bottom bit, think like bottom bit of Face when you go from the path into the steep bit. Not really ever seen it moguled.

Lovely run, can get a bit scraped/icy depending on conditions but usually fine.

North west facing but very shaded by mountain and trees. The steepest bit is at the bottom but as per normal for Italy, no bumps. You don’t get a decent seat on the gondola back up either. Theres a black/red down to the nicest chair (Nube d’Oro) from the top of Spinale as well, worth doing for the ride back up. There’s a longer black in Pinzolo (Tulot) and a short steep at the top of 5 Laghi Gondola. If you want an audience, the black under Miramonti is on the WC slalom circuit and finishes right in town. Dos del Penia above Marilleva is a bit harder to reach, slow chairs. Amazzonia is probably the easiest in the area but SE facing so can get a bit soft in the middle of the afternoon. The ones into Folgarida are nice if you like a long shady run through a forest.

I love that schumacher streif, it can get hard packed, with little balls of snow that can collect at the bottom of the steep bit, but it's a lovely run.

@stevew, I did this year, just in March we went over for a few days, the snow was fairly good, but because it was getting warm you had that loose snow, and it threw up fairly good piles, we did all the runs, the spinale had good moguls by the end of the day, and it was massive fun, the end bit the schumacher was really bumped.

In my experience the bottom section isn't that bumpy.

Our biggest issue on that section last season was people walking their dogs, letting them off the leash. On two occasions, my son or I had to change direction to avoid a mutt on the piste.

The Italians leaving a run to get mogulled!!!?? 
We can live in hope, but sadly, just as runs start to get interesting by the end of the day, they send out the army of piste bashers overnight and destroy everything.

Spinale direttissima
At first I thought it was a thread about a degenerative skeletal disorder

You know it makes sense.

Yea Dave it was the end of the day when it was really bumpy, because the snow was soft, even the pancuglio was getting a bit bumpy too, you know that soft stuff you get after a warm day,
