Latest – cold but incredible skiing in the Tirol

So the cold weather continued but clear blue skies that not been predicted in the Tirol arrived to offer really outstanding conditions. I was in the Zillertal and spent some time capturing shots of a group of snowboarders who were riding perfect powder down the back of the Durlassoden Dam, between the resorts of Gerlos and Konigsleiten. The resorts were closed but these guys as well as a number of ski tourers had incredible conditions.

They had to walk for their turns but it was a great and untracked backside of the dam

All the glaciers were open as was Obergurgl where my brother-in-law went. He reports outstanding conditions, but also very cold. Not too many people either.
