After 30cm of fresh snow it was time to follow our freeride project and head out to the backcountry to have a freeride session. Because of the rising temperatures we did choose to hike up high to a bowl that should still have good snow.

When we did scout that location from the plane it did look really good so we were pretty curious if it could hold up to our expectations.

After getting all our gear together we started to hike from the road up the valley. The high temperature and the already strong sun made some of the south east  faces slide, so the choice of the right route was an essential one.

After 4 hours of hiking with our selfmade splitboards we finally reached the bottom of our bowl to build up our basecamp. From there we planed to hike our lines the next day.

Although the weather was not perfect the next day we did ride `peak 1´a good face with good snow on it. After some fun lines and ready to step it up clouds moved in and the  visibility got really bad. We did discuss to stay for another night to see if things would get better but not being prepared to stay for another day, we were running out of gas to melt snow for drinking water, and also having a tricky weather situation we decided to go back down on day two.

To follow our vision of having freeride sessions at the best faces, ridges and bowels somewhere out there is hard work but really worth the effort. next time we are headding out we will bring more fuel to be able to stay longer.
