This photo shows the bulk of our ski tour from Sillian today. The top lift station of the Sillian ski area is on the highest peak in the center (the ski resort on the other side). From there we rode down the slopes to looker's left, skinned up here, rode back down to the left again, then skinned back over the right-side ridge to the top to the ski area again where we went straight to the lodge for a hot plate of fries, Speckknödelsuppe, and cake! 😋

With beautiful calm weather today, Claudia and I returned to the Sillian ski area, rode up the top lift, then left the resort for a tour of the "backyard", which is mostly high rolling terrain reminiscent of McMillan back home, except for the Dolomites in the background!
