The weather was good and Leonie and I headed off to Furkapass in Austria with the plan to ski tour up Hoher Freschen via Hohe Matona. We were a little topographically challenged however and realised at the summit of Hohe Matona that Hoher Freschen is still quite a way from Hohe Matona.<\/p>\n

Anyway, a good ski tour up to the Hohe Matona summit at 1998 m with nice weather and nice snow. And a funky corniced ridge, and a scramble to the summit after depositing our skis.<\/p>\n

Above left: We set off with much nicer weather than we had here a week ago. We headed up the same valley but headed up into the hills a little later than last time. Above middle: It wouldn’t be one of our ski tours without a little bit of ski carrying. Above right: We headed up to Hohe Matona which had a very cool corniced ridge which we stayed away from.<\/p>\n

Above: We made a ski depot near the top and went on foot the last few metres to a little snow platform where Leonie waited for me while I clambered to the summit.<\/p>\n

\"Summit<\/a><\/p>\n

Above: There was a great view on the last little ridge to the summit.<\/p>\n

Above left: Posy photos at Leonie’s snow ledge. Yes, that’s grass behind us. Above right: We had a break half way down.<\/p>\n
