First goal of year ✅.
I wanted to ski up Gempen and today looked possible with the recent snowfalls.. and before the rain comes to Basel and clean the bottom snow I wanted to give it a try. It was tougher than I expected 🤪.
We headed with the tram to Neuwelt and walked to the wooden bridge 🌁 crossing the Birs. There I put the skis on and started along the Birs and soon in the forest. Snow here was not abundant but enough to move on 🎿.
As soon as we started going up ⬆️ there was a bit more as well as there were fallen branches in the middle of the way caused by the snow ❄.
Once almost at Schönmatt I needed to skipped ⏭ the road, since most likely will be cleaned from snow. So, we went behind through the single trails. Indeed this was the nicest part, quite a lot of snow with some ups and down that I have to ski down ⬇️😁.
