With a poor weather forecast and a suboptimal avalanche forecast, Adam and I decided to head to Christlumlopf for a piste ski tour to get out, as it could easily be done in poor visibility and with a high avalanche forecast.
The day turned out to be much nicer than we had anticipated, however there was still a lot of cloud around, so it probably wasn’t a bad decision. The way up was very pleasant, most of the way up was on a quiet Rodelbahn, with only a short section up the side of a piste, before we went into the woods for the final ascent.
It wasn’t a long day out, we were at the summit in under two hours, but my legs certainly felt the lack of ski touring so far this season! The ski down was wonderful, on wide pistes, with good snow and not very many people!
