Making the most of all that precious powder snow before it gets trashed by the crowds this weekend.⁣

Empty summits, can’t beat them. ⁣
⁣
Even if does require a bit of extra effort getting to them. ⁣

Schafalpenkopfe and Ochsenloch... A tour of two halves. ⁣
⁣
After an icey skin up we had a great scramble up to the summit of Schafalpenkopfe and had the place to ourselves followed by some great conditions on the shady face Ochsenloch. ⁣
⁣
Unfortunately the extra time taking in the summit meant the sun baked lower slopes where a horrible icey slush. Making super slow progress getting back out the valley. ⁣
⁣
The good definitely outweighed the bad!⁣
