After two weeks of checking it is all begining. After weather forecast which said about 80cm of new snow it all lokked for a good party. So we packed up our wheel buddy and took about eight hours journey to Molltaler Gletscher (Austria). www.gletscher.co.at

So the departure from Roznov p. R. after 8pm. Arrival at 5am to Flattach on the parking. Nobody there. At 9 am people started to hanging around and going straight to the train for about 180. We are waiting to fill up the train and looking forvard to go up there. It takes about 10 mins to get up there and it is realy strange feeling. The traing is going a bit fast.

Because we have arrived to our well know places, we knew where to go.   There was not 80cm of a new snow but it did not matter. The resost got us with its area and possibillities to riding. What is a big surprise, freeriding is not a phenomenon for a lot of people there. We did not meet a lot of them in the freeride zones.

The resort is big digger and the rescue system is well designed there. We accidentally became a part of a small avalanche, which took us for a coule of meters. But there were one more guy. We did not see him after the horizont and the avalachne hit him little bit nardet. The rescue team found him under about 70cm of snow. He was ALIVE.

Terrain is realy jagged here and sometimes you can find a realy good face to ride. But nowadays here should be more then 1m of snow. But it is not. My opinion of this resort is that the best part will be Variante, which terminates by a lift 4er-Sesselbahn Schwarzkopf, map HERE. The ideal time for a visit of this resort will be January.
