Christmas break !!!!

 It’s been a good 3 weeks after doing lots of freeriding and ski touring my holiday has come to an end. I skied nearly every day but one, that was new years day. On new years day I went climbing instead.

Ski touring/skiing

I really enjoy ski touring because you get to ski lines that no one has touched that season or even open up first descents! This season I did a short but nice tour to Spinas. The snow at the top was good powder but then at the bottom through the forest it got really heavy and wet because of rain and warm temperatures.

Getting up at 7 to get on the first lift up the mountain to have perfect run conditions. There was no one else on the mountain it was great! Perfectly groomed runs made it a ball to race down the sloppes 

 Ice climbing

So I’ve been training for ice as well on a pile of logs. I would go 3 to 4 times a week after skiing for about 40 to 60 minutes just climbing circuits and using figure 4s. On my way home from skiing I found the crazy ice tower which was lit up from the inside at night. 2 nights later we drove there and climbed on them the ice was soft due to the high temperatures all day but a good fun.

Climbing

So over this holiday I’ve done 6 days a week 100 pull-ups a day on my fingerboard! And have been climbing once at the wall for training purposes.

All in all it was a good holiday and nice to be home. There where some bad days where the snow was crap but there were many good days with amazing conditions!!!!
