An epic day

Last Friday was the last day of our vacation in Obergurgl and it was epic! It had been snowing lightly since Wednesday and from Thursday evening until Friday morning it continued snowing a bit harder even so this was the view we got from our apartment on Friday morning: 

So we got up a bit earlier than normal and went all the way up with the Hochgurglbahn I and II which brought us up the mountain around 10 AM. At that time the unimaginable happened... the sun was starting to shine a bit over the mountains!

Can it get any better?! At least 20cm of fresh pow... almost nobody on the mountain yet and the sun shining... legendary!!
So we started off with some near piste tracks riding fresh lines and later on went up up all the way to the Top Mountain Star at 3080m to ride some steeper real off-piste track. Going down right here:





Also made movies of us going down this slope:

 

So all and all we ended up riding fresh tracks and first lines all day. Who needs pistes anyway right? ;-) And off course to close an epic day and a very nice holiday in the Ötztal, we had some drinks :)
