20th of march - time to start <a href="http://maxzipser.blogspot.co.at/search/label/STEEPS%20list" target="_blank">alpine climbs</a>, even if it`s still early in the season for that kind of touring. Snow level in the Adamello-Presanella alps is above average this year and we are exited to be here. When Björn, Raphi and I finally reached the winter shelter it got already dark, probably we spent too much time eating panini on the way here (and Raphi for sure was anonnoyed because the skinns didn`t adhere on his skis). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, we started early the next morning - still not sure about the conditions in the face. Getting closer to the "Bergschrund" we noticed that it`s probably quite firm and some parts icy. Wind hammered the whole mountain range - Bummer! We definitely prefer soft snow, but as long as it is possible we agree to ride or ski down. For sure this face needs some more snowfalls with warmer temperatures in order that the snow sticks better to the steep. Somehow weird as people already start biking etc. but we are happy that winter isn`t over yet. After a challenging descent in the upper part, we had to change again back to crampons to climb down about 15m of glacier ice. Not even 50° but enough that steep becomes steeper... We are sure considering the conditions the only possibility we have and a good practice anyway. </div>

Some great turns lead us back to the hut, followed by spring snow all the way down to the car - more than 2300m vertical descent from the top. With weather coming in we decided to go back home instead of doing another hike the next day. </div>

Unfortunately mother nature didn`t bless us with tons of snow so far here in nothern Tyrol. Nevertheless we know where to find the snow and went to Engadin, Switzerland for the <a href="http://www.engadinsnow.com/index.php?PROGRAM-STIMOROL-ENGADINSNOW-2" target="_blank">EngadinSnow Invitational</a>, an unique contest format: 2 riders - same time in the face - competing in a k.O. system against another team... was lot of fun!</div>

Beside the event all riders enjoyed the perfect snow conditions around Corvatsch and had sick runs..<br />

<br />
As more and more people ask me about how a Splitboard works, here is an interesting link:<br />

Since I got in contact with Markus Reichard who made my first Splitboard years ago, I did quite a lot touring not wasting energy anymore. Different terrain - from steep and sometimes icy to mellow powder runs. Before I was used to hike in deep fresh powder with snowshoes and also tried similar stuff. I always felt good with my Splitboard and could 100% trust it. For sure, especially in exposed lines you should double-check Board, Bindings and Crampons.<br />
<br />
Thanks Markus!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conditions for high alpine peaks turned to be good later than normal this year, meaning we still found great snow in the past hiking missions. Since I have seen the famous "Biancograt" the first time from Pontresina I wanted to get up there and ride this insane spine all the way down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-65eOojmBrrE/Ub9BdSsH1YI/AAAAAAAABUU/erzZZiZlXP4/s1600/bianco+von+strasse.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" cya="true" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-65eOojmBrrE/Ub9BdSsH1YI/AAAAAAAABUU/erzZZiZlXP4/s320/bianco+von+strasse.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.dcr-snow.blogspot.co.at/" target="_blank">Dani</a> and I drove to Pontresina, the starting point of the tour. We hiked up to the Tschierva hut, which was still closed because of the unusual snow level and slept in the "winterraum". Early in the morning we started hiking - 2 houres we skinned up to Fuorcla Prievlusa where the real climb starts. Soon we noticed that it`s gonna be super hard to make it to the summit in time, as conditions in this mixed terrain were more difficult than expected. I`ve done quite a lot alpine stuff already, but most of the time we didn`t use a rope, as the goal always is to ride down as well. The idea is that as long as we feel comfortable hiking, it should be possible to ride! Simple, isn`t it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally Dani and I had to make the desicion to turn round. That`s never easy, but necessary if you wanna stay safe. </div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A week later conditions seemed to be better and I gave it another try. This time together with <a href="http://alex-hoffmann.blogspot.co.at/" target="_blank">Alex</a> we started in direction to Switzerland. Already knowing the path and what we gonna need considering "climbing hardware" we reached the Tschierva hut and could enjoy an epic sunset up there. </div>

2:30 a.m the next day we woke up and skinned again up to the ridge close to where Dani and I had to turn round the last time. The snow in this mixed terrain was much better settled and we climbed fast with some "Tibloc" fixations through the rocks. On the top we had to rappel to finally reach the Biancograt, which leads for another 500 vertical metres to the summit of Piz Bianco (3995m). This hike on that spine is for sure something special and quite exposed all the way. About 1000m + drop to both sides - rocky and steep.</div>

Exhausted but knowing the reason for our hike just starts now, I droped into the sunny side of the spine. All the snow below my edge went down to the glacier and we could hear it like an avalanche passing the serac. Attention was required, but as soon I got used to the riding it turned to be super fun riding that insane spine...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Further down we had to climb up again a few metres in order to reach the north side of the ridge, where we had again to rappel for like 3x40m. Back there we could ride till the hut and finally hiked down to our bicycles.</div>
<br />
A great adventure, a wunderful mountain and positive vibes will stay in my mind!<br />

Step by step I feel really good and strong after my injury and I`m already able to do pretty much everything again. I tried to take it easy the very first time in the snow in order to get my safe feeling back. Finally also the weather was supposed to be good (unfortunately not too often this spring since a while), we went for a two-days hiking mission. Part of the "whiteroom crew" - <a href="http://johannes-hoffmann.blogspot.co.at/" target="_blank">Joi</a>, Michi, <a href="http://www.jochenmesle.com/" target="_blank">Jochen</a>, Jakob and me was packed with heavy backpacks, ready for some hours hiking to reach snow-level. </div>

We camped up there, cooked some tasty spaghetti and woke up the next morning 03:00 am. After the sun came out it was just great to be surrounded by this wonderful mountains without seeing somebody else. We made it to the summit already knowing the conditions for the descent gonna be perfect. </div>

"3-2-1..." familar noise out of the radios ;) We all took different lines, captured by Jakob and his camera. Another great descent followed till we had to walk down through the valley. A big smile in our face made it better, still a long walk. </div>

Unfortunately in the last FreerideWorldTour event, which took place in Fieberbrunn/ Austria, I had a bad crash and broke my ulna and radius bone. It was the double drop which ended up with a double broken bone ;)<br />
But in addition I also have a small fracture of the pubic bone. Great combination crutches and a hand injury ... bääää </div>

Without knowing that I have another injury than on my arm, I still thought to be able to ride carefully, but now it will definitely takes a few weeks. Nevertheless, if everthing heals fast and good, I keep the hope to climb and ride some lines on mountains at higher altitude later on in spring.</div>

In the meantime <a href="http://mitch.at/blog/" target="_blank">Mitch</a> created a really nice clip about a project that we did together 2 weeks ago. Praxmarerkarspitze is an epic mountain in the Karwendel range, but pretty difficult to access. </div>

The first day we had to hike up to a hut and slept in the "winterraum". Even the descent early morning in the dark to the beginning of our route was incredible. Because of the full moon we could see quite well and on the opposite the shadow of our silhouette. It took us two attempts to go up, as the first try ended in a 70°+ ramp which would have been just too much having only one ice axe and cramons. Quickly we checked whether the food is enough to give it another try. So it was and on day 2 we finally we managed to summit and could ride our lines.<br />

Fresh snow in the dolomites was a good reason for <a href="http://alex-hoffmann.blogspot.co.at/" target="_blank">Alex Hoffmann</a> and me to leave the austrian mountains behind for a few days. The goal was to ride as many "canali stretti" as possible, obviously it has to be challenging and with good snow. <br />

Considering snow quality and stability we had to decide with which couloir we start. In Italy they have different law and the consequence of releasing an avalanche can be quite serious. Anyway we wanna stay safe, but it`s always important to have all facts and options of what can happen on the mountains in your mind.</div>

The difference between this two places is much bigger than the distance... <br />
<br />
The whole set up for the event here in Chamonix in huge and it`s great to be one of the riders who is qualified. It`s always a good atmosphere in the event village at the center of Chamonix where BIB draw and price giving ceremony take place.<br />

Luckily the snowboarders start first again, this means also that we have to wake up very early on contest day: 5:30am breakfast time, 6:30 first gondola, 7:00 start hiking in the dark and finally 9:00 we are supposed to drop in. <br />
<br />
Knowing that the snow is good, I decided to go for a line that could be good enough for a podium. I started good, had some fresh turns and went fast and clean till the double drop, which was my last feature in my run. Unfortunately I had a butt check, which was not good at all - 12th place. <br />

After watching the other riders, I went up to Aiguille du Midi together with Christina, Otto and Laura who came here for the first time. We enjoyed the great panoramic view up there and went down the "Valleè Blanche" - a 2800 vertical metre descent to Chamonix. <br />

After missing the first FreerideWorldTour event in Revelstoke, I had a good feeling about competing in Courmayeur, Italy. Right after face check on friday weather moved in and the contest was postponed till Tuesday. Not too bad, Courmayeur is a good place to stay and we got some nice turns during that waiting period.</div>

This time snowboarders started after skiers, who are about 30 competitors. As the venue did not allow so many different options, I choose a line I felt comfortable with, even if there would be quite a few tracks before I start. It could ride pretty much as planed and finished 6th place with a solid run and not taking too much risk. <br />
