Because my mother had to get an operation our plan to spend the Xmas in Denmark was cancelled, a last minute booking for a hotel in Ötztal with the hope of some skiing and ski mountaineering was made.

The 25th we had arrange for a mountain guide, but because of bad weather conditions it was cancelled. But anyway 5 tours before New Year the season could turn out good

4th tour the season and a black eye

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:01:43 GMT

Up 4:30 and with Markus to the “Jäger kamp”, we wanted to start our usual before work ski mountaineering tours. Because of a big west wind and increasing avalanche danger we had hope the west site would be safer. But somehow the wind has blow in all directions so going up in the dark and make a safe track was quite difficult. Somehow going with Markus always cause pain, Markus broke his camera, I crashed on an even slope and manage to put the ski pole between my helmet and ski Google, causing a blue eye- ;-)
