Skiing in June

The view from the top 3500 m

June 15 - I finally was able to escape work and family and make a day trip to the mountains for a ski trip.  (A number of earlier trips planned had to be cancelled at the last minute due to either work or weather.)
We left at 2am to drive to the pass and started hiking up the mountain at 5am (elev 2'000m).  5 hours later we made it to the top at 3'500m - Susten horn.  A grueling climb, that left me exhausted.  The ski down was fantastic until we hit the soft snow and here my tired legs were not up to the test.  Fortunately the snow was soft and I didn't hit any rocks when I fell (a number of times).
