Fischer Tour | Transalp 2016 | Day 3

Day 3: Spiss ? Kappl The mountain peaks were already basking in sunshine under a blue sky as we had breakfast ? a promising outlook for day 3. After leaving the customs post in Spiss we had a long, gentle uphill through ZANDERtal to Fliesser Alpe. From then on it became somewhat steeper and we had to be careful (avalanche warning level 3) up to the highest point of the day, MALFRAGKOPF (2776m). Some fresh snow overnight had whetted our appetite for the downhill ride, especially as we had only had very moist snow on the previous days due to the warm temperatures. In addition to what was without doubt the most beautiful day in the most impressive surroundings, we really were rewarded with powder turns, too, and the rather long downhill and lack of snow in places through Grübeltal did nothing at all to dampen our spirits! "Generally, the descents are tricky," says Martin Eisenknapp, Product Manager Tour, Fischer Sports. "There's a bit of everything, from soft snow to crusted snow. The equipment and the participants are tested to the limit. All the participants are extremely fit and have no problem coping with difficult conditions. Also, in these conditions the benefits of the PROFOIL really come into their own. It doesn't crust or absorb moisture, and we make extremely good time. We're looking forward to the coming days and hope for good weather."
