The taste of Swiss powder
It stopped snowing! Thanks god…
One week before our departure to Switzerland star snowing there and we have the hope that it will be powder there. Our plan is clear, Davos first and then Adelboden. Sleeping in tents or cars, no hotels or restaurants, just low-cost trip.
During the drive I had some troubles with the engine of my car, it has got no power. But I think it was because of heavy load in it, five pairs of skisand lots of stuff for camping, food for one week for three guys. But in Germany start flashing red light of engine electronics, so we had quite a big problem. Luckily on parking, where we stopped was mechanic from ADAC organization with diagnostic for our car. He found that our turbocharger is out, but it was possible to drive next 2000km carefully. Problem no. 2 came out on Swiss border, one of guys haven’t got passport neither ID. The policeman was great man and thanks to him we could go on! We spend night on great place between Klosters and Davos.
In the morning was snowing and foggy, not good day for discovering Davos. So we buy one day ticket for Parsenn and start skiing. But in upper parts was a fog, in lower parts wet snow… We decided to move to Adelboden during night. We had funny moments with GPS, so we could see nice Swiss countryside in the rainy night. In Adelboden is around one meter of fresh powder and because of it we had to sleep on parking place. For 4 days!
Next two days was best powder in my life! Riding in really deep pow, it was hard to ski it even on K2 Pontoons. And blue sky like a bonus! Third and fourth day wasn’t so good because heavy snow and avalanche dangerous, but still riding in sunshine was very funny!
