Karlstor ski tour, Kleinwalsertal 2015-03-28
The early spring took an unexpected day off, leaving the hillsides of Kleinwalsertal with almost a decimeter of fresh snow. Along with other enthusiasts we took the opportunity for a tour in the sunny weather, opting this time for Kalrstor. The tour was already tracked in the early morning. The present track followed a shaded furrow where the snow may remain a little longer in the spring warmth. We followed the (often very steep) furrow almost all the way up to the foot of Kleiner Widderstein, where it finally emerges into the steep slope coming down from Karlstor and Grosser Widderstein. At the Karlstor saddle, winds whirled up backlighted snow to a furious dance - a fascinating sight, although not inviting for a pause once the saddle was reached. All the more joy to go down in the fresh powder!
