The last skimo trip of the season. Thanks Konkordiahutte for a wonderful time. Skiing conditions were excellent.
Fantastic views on Kungsleden just north of Bárkká, Norbotten, Sweden. April 2024

On the second and last day of our ski touring eastern we ascended the Rossbodenstock, skied down to Andermatt and took the train back to our car. As expected several others ascended the same summit. But it was far from crowded. Round about 20 people on the summit. The descent to Andermatt is fairly steep (rated AD+), so there we were for ourselves again. The first part was really very rough and icy.
But afterwards we were gifted with absolutely lovely conditions. We managed to ski almost to the first houses of Andermatt.
Two really great days, well spent.
We departed by car very early at 4:30 and drove to Tschamut, the last village before the road to Operalppass is closed in Winter. There we mounted our Skis and ascended the Piz Cavradi by its north ridge. It was absolutely lonesome up to the summit. The short downhill to the Maighels alpine hut was on enjoyable Sulz.
Light and shadow are so close together. Yesterday I had a wonderful day of ski touring in the finest powder and good weather. Today, I struggled uphill in fog and wind and then downhill through the worst kind of slush.
There’s been an incredible amount of fresh snow over the last few days, so yesterday I just couldn't resist going on a short ski tour and taking three peaks in one go. 1300m elevation gain, fantastic slopes covered in fresh snow - and about four hours later, I was pretty exhausted but also very happy 😁
