131208 Riedbergerhorn (1787m)
neill, 12:03h
Sunday morning at 05:00 and I had to work - it really is a tough life.
Drove up the partly snow covered and very windy Riedberg Pass to 1470 meters above sea level. Not a single other car going up and down so I had real fun with my 4WD Skoda Yeti.
At the top of the pass I put on my touring skis and set off under a million stars all twinkling in the cold. Not another person as far as the eye could see.
Reached the Riedbergerhorn at about 07:00 and could see all the lights across Lake Constance in Switzerland some 60 kilometers away. In the East the sky was slowly getting lighter.
Skied down the ridge and then up to the Grauenstein where we have a station (at 1750m) that supplies Internet to the village of Bolsterlang. Changed out a router that has been causing problems and rang my colleague to check that the new component was working properly.
Skied back up to the Riedbergerhorn and enjoyed the view while taking the skins off my skis and then had a dream descent through fresh powder snow all the way back to the car park. Scrounged a cup of coffee from the ski lift and then drove back towards the rising sun and home.
The route (from my GPS) is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=mgklsrjukonsvhwk
