A fun time! I skinned up on my touring skis to the Hoehe Salve summit, about 1100 meters up from the base at Söll. I ran into Yang and Ulan on the way up, which was fun. Later, at lunch I couldn't find anyone from the group. Oh well! I decided to spend the afternoon hiking down and back up from Brixen im Thale. Since I had tennis shoes in my backpack, I was able to hide my ski gear then walk about 500 meters down a road and snow-free slopes. I did some meditation in the sun.

After all this, I hurried back, somewhat worried that the lifts would close before I could make it to the Stocklalm on the north side of the peak. Happily I just made it! The black runs coming down from the summit were really excellent -- the snow good firn, very much spring conditions (in the old days).

Hilarious dinner with the team. Lots of funny philosophical discussions. Always tinged with the absurd, the way I like it best. :)
