Friday morning brought rain in the valley, but 10 minutes on a chair and 30/03/12 delivered fresh snow

On Saturday bright blue skies and not much wind boded well for a hike up to Kleinarler Hutte. Lots of gear to take when two of you are skinning and one of you has decided to strap on snow shoes and carry the heaviest snowboard I've ever lifted

Here's the man himself. Not sure he's enjoying it much ...

This is where John and I are heading, the lump of rock on the left hand side of the ridge

No pics from the descent (some vid might follow, apparently) but I wasn't stopping to take photos in lovely fresh Spring, chalky powder.
Sadly, before we could go up for a second go, the weather started to close in, the wind really picking up

Arno, cheers. Wailers really came into their own this trip. Going uphill worked well and I certainly noticed the difference in weight from previous set-ups. As for the down, big smiles all round!

Late and poor quality, but video evidence of the pitch down to Kleinarl Hutte. It's pretty mellow, although the top is steeper that it looks as you can tell by my mate's rather tentative approach by which he manages to ski across the skin track. Twice!
Still, for video shot on a standard camera, I guess it's not too bad.
