Use the waiting time excesivlly 😛

It has been an interesting two weeks, since we first descended on the perfect spring Park at Stubai. In between there was also one of the most important fairs in the ski industry, the INTERALPIN, more Stubai, some Ischgl with a little detour to Switzerland. But more on that in another post. As some of you will remember, at the ISPO in February I had the opportunity to be invited by Ferrino, the Italian outdoor brand, to one of the biggest ski mountaineering events, the Mezzalama Trophy at Cervinia on the Italian side of the Monte Rossa, next to the picturesque Matterhorn. Originally scheduled, to take place on saturday, the weather did not agree.

Ironically, as I’m writing this, a snow storm is moving into the area, promising to bring 50 the cm of fresh powder and around 2200 m. The race is thus postponed until sometime next week. Safety comes first, specially in the mountains.

While I will definitely be reporting from the race later next week, and while I’m at it also test some of Ferrinos gear, the entire thing also has a good side. 

At the same time every year, the windsurf season starts off with the surf World Cup at Podersdorf. Since I can`t be at two places at once even touh I have a twin brother, I thought that this year, for the first time in four years, I would have to leave it out. I wasn’t so super thrilled about it, because it’s the only time I see a lot of my friends before we scatter all across the globe for the summer season. Now, thanks to the great unpredictability of whether I might be able to do both. So be sure to check back in the next couple of days for a few sweet windsurfing pictures and reports. So for the the first of may its going to be a mix of powder and surf 😛
