Skiing at Brauneck (3-02-2008) (40 Pics)

[Widdi]

I went skiing once again yesterday, seems that I'm getting hooked on that winter sport. I got up early enough at 6am, and at 6:45 after Breakfast and getting the equipment into my car, I drove southward to the Brauneck skiing resort in Lenggries, Germany. I made it there in 1,5 hours, since it's just 60km south of munich and a nice oldschool resort, with many T-Bars dating back to the 1960s

1. Valley run to Wegscheid and a late warm-up

Just after arriving at the mountain I immediatly took some cat trails and the red Family run down to the village of Wegscheid to get to the T-bars at the blue slopes down at 700m asl.

Just at the arrival, slightly cam-shaked due to slippery

After the Ascend to the summit station of the Brauneck cable car at 1550m asl.

2. Backing up to the Brauneck summit

After some runs on the blue slopes in Wegscheid, I backed up using two T-bars and the Ahorn quad chairlift. There was a longer queue at the chairlift, so I used the next T-Bar for some runs first and backed up a bit later

3. 1,5 times down on the Garland piste

Just after arriving on the summit again, I took the black Garland piste first down to the Garland chairlift and after backing up and retrying the upper aprts, I went down the whole black piste. Later some runs on the valley lifts of Lenggries, which have a vintage 1960s feel to them. The air got quite warm down at 750m asl., due to slight Foehn winds, as warm as +15
