#KristbergImSilbertal #LoipeTrail #Knappastoba

Saturday 24th Feb, -3dg, and the foggy inversion that sits around middle level is making life cold. Today will be the warmest at -5dg then the week through until Wednesday will drop to temps up to -20dg up around 2000m. I do not have the correct ski clothes with me to ski in temps that cold so it will be village sorties for us. Yesterday we went up onto the Kristberg in the Silbertal to do the 11km loipe trail. Bus and Bahn... 3 layers #icebreaker two layers #bogner and after the first .5km I was removing already. It was a magical place from another world in there, with a real witches and warlocks atmosphere with the freezing cloud line under the sun. The little Wildried Kapelle was a beautiful surprise on the way down to the lake circuit. In all honesty I did have some OMG moments when the skis were free running downhill in the grooves as me stopping on langlauf skis in downhill motion is a sight to behold!! Beautiful mountain lunch with delicious chardonnay out on the deck at the #Knappastoba then lift down by bahn and bus to Schruns. Perfect. Today is recycling day and it will not be a fast task as it has been ignored for two weeks. Countdown is now on.
