Morefreddo, 2769m 24-1-2011 (Alpes)

For a sunny Monday I chose Val Troncea. The aim for today was to enjoy the slopes of this technical easy mountain. I started in Pattemouche at 1600m still in the shade.

From the beginning one of the several 3000´s of the valley can be seen. The Morefreddo is settled on the other side of the valley.


There is a gap of 600m between the following and the previous pic. At 2200 the forest clears up and the slopes are very attractive.



I followed a skiprint among the last trees of the woods. The final slopes to the summit were nearby.


Finally I got the top. Just for commenting, Today was the first time in 2 years in going beyond of the quote of 2650m of Torre Cerredo.

Morefreddo at 2769m with a wide views of the Alps westwards.

I made a mistake...I followed another sprints for the descent. I could not see another sprint of descending over the good slopes I had seen in the ascent. The result was a mediocre descent with just specific parts in good conditions.

I keep on warming up with the splitboard. Today was the record with 1200m of vertical ascent. I hope the quality of snow gets better nextly, and there were sunny days to enjoy it!
