Finally managed to connect with Tobias for a tour - amazing weather, fantastic snow, great company. We took the chair up to Pizolhütte and headed west toward the Wildsee. A quick descent to Wildsee, a pause for lunch, and up the north-facing Pizolgletscher to the Pizol col. An exposed scramble up to the summit was made a tad less adventurous by a cable for self-belay. The descent was great, despite the crowds we found untracked lines all the way down to civilization... perfect light fluffy powder. Yum. a map
I also just realized that every ski outing I've been on this winter has been in perfect weather... something I'm definitely not used to but I'm quickly acquiring a taste for it. Thanks everyone for a great day out! Again no action shots, I still don't have a good way of skiing with my camera...
