Itinerary description
Toring alone means no steep couloirs and no summits, using only center of the valley and finish at the saddle. Železná brána saddle was not skiable on my side (large lumps of hard snow), so I gave up about 50 meters below the saddle. In the shade it was as hard as concrete, very soft on sunny sides. Fresh avalanches everywhere. Steeper slopes were impossible to traverse - either ski slipped on the ice or soft snow slipped bellow the ski. Otherwise terrific azzuro and gourmet firn descents.
