Munt Buffalora, Mai 2004
Not too much snow anymore, unfortunately, but still a nice second ending of the season!

Val Laschadura. Obviously our springs are still under snow... The first recon trip a little NW of the tour.

That's the amount of snow a week before, the plains at 1970 metres...

We went up along the red path, down along the blue one. It looks flatter than it is, we could ride it all (Well, almost)! On the way up we kept to the "dry" patches, at times without snowshoes.

This is our resting place, and where the trouble announced itself in the form of a cold, strong wind. Check the nice couloir at Piz Nair (One of the many Nairs in Graubünden)

The summit, and you could see what this wind was bringing along. Shortly after this it was snowing and the view was fading. We started the descent after we got to the top of the gravel field below the summit
