Weather forecast failed...It was snowing almost all day long but still good visibility. When I arrived in Viella sky was pretty grey so I decided to go to the ski resort since I didnt see any car parked where the track to this mountain started.
So I paid 47€ and despite the uncertain weather I enjoyed 3h riding through the pine forest of the bottom of the resort. Then I saw Sun shinng in some part, but not in the resort where looked even worse -no longer visibility in the forest. At this point I had to make a decision: either stay in the resort or try back country in the "sunny" area. I chose the second one, even having paid the skipass....
I left the cark in Hotel la Tuca in Viella and went up on a track. It was 13pm so i was quite pressed for time. The amount of snow was astonishing. I started at 950m and everything was buried under the snow.
As Í went higher the forest turned into pines mainly. There was so much snow that the track I followed cutted down the dirty road, so all the ascent was mainly through a beatiful forest.
At 1500, the forest got open...
I keeped going up whereas some skiers were going down. By that time the snowfall was getting heavier and heavier...and it was 3pm. I dediced to stop going up. It was getting to late, and the last thing I wanted was to get lost in the middle of the forest at night under the snowfall.
I enjoyed fresh deep snow....Best conditions! At least it wasnt foggy so visibility was good enough!
The forest was magical under the moderate snowfall...
At 1400m I took the dirty road again.Its difficult to believe cars come up here. I splitted the board up so I let myself slide all the way down.
I arrived at the car. I made a good decision going back. With this weather conditions it was dark at 5pm.
