Quite the backdrop for our merry international band of skiers π
The spectacular Mezzalama was behind us and being tired I stayed another night at the excellent Nue de st.Anton. The forecast was looking good for the morning and since it would be the last day of operations on the Cervino side of the Matterhorn resort I decided that I would ski a little more and test my new Ferrino gear ;)*.
Well as I said the hotel was so great with a bathtub and amazing cuisune. I love Italian hospitality π Also the Hotel manager was a really nice guy (who knows his Slovenian wine ;)) and a freerider so at the morning while checking out I saw that he was also going skiing,and he asked if I`d like to join him and a few friends for the last season day at Cervino.
A few minutes later we were joined by two freeriders (German and Slovakian originally), now from dear Canada, who were spending some quality time in z Alps :). We did a few nice lines that you can see here:

I am a little angry at myself for not charging my GoPro the other day coz those shots form the ride towards the base of the Matterhorn/Cervino would have been really nice. It was also great to have a local with us to show us the way and keep us clear of all the creavases. Also the snow was surprisingly good up until 1 pm.
We said goodbye and parted ways because I still had to go up to the Kleinmatterhorn top at 3850m for a little nostalgia π Haven`t been up there since I was like 15 π
Quite a nice thought π
Checked out the park .. wasn`t much left but is up and running now again …
It was a really unexpected last day and the terrain in the area is absolutely amazing. There are just so many lines left to do there that I will defiantly come back π
Quite the view π
So here I am now… two weeks later. Sitting at home in rainy Ljubljana, the mountains just white again with 20 cm of fresh, reminiscing this awesome season. It was really amazing and I can`t say how happy I am for these awesome experiences. So at this point I have to thank all off you friends riding buddies, readers, companies and people who make freeskiing what it is. An awesome experiences and a way of life. The dedication is unparalleled and I hope to see all of you again next season starting with the Stubai opening and maybe in the summer on Hintertux or Dachstein for a few nice parkdays. And remember !
Mehr Mensch sein π Be more human π Uomo prima di tutto π
