Buy weed Passo Tonale

Called The Prostitute by locals, it had been straightforward routefinding with the standard avy precautions. Mostly, it had been plain great skiing on wide-open, moderately pitched slopes in brilliant sunshine. With strained metaphors and wan puns rolling off our tongues, we agreed she had dispensed her favours willingly, satisfyingly and at a remarkably low cost. But now we were transitioning from fall-line skiing to the exit phase, which can be an intricate undertaking in the Alps. For The Prostitute, it meant a long traverse along an ancient military track running between avalanche start zones above and big cliffs below, followed by a brief respite in the aforesaid tunnel, then more sidehill traversing, with a finale of tree skiing before reaching our ride at a local highway. Would The Prostitute grant us a discrete exit? Or keep us in her clutches to extract payment? I ditched any idea of applying the brakes and shot along the track beneath avalanche chutes and over successive zones of debris until rounding a last pile of mud-streaked chunks brought the open tunnel into view. Just enough snow had sluffed inside to permit hurling myself sideways on the last patch of sunlight and hockey-stopping inside the entrance short of piling up on verglas -covered boulders. The whorehouse equivalent of a smoke break between rounds. Blatantly sexist to current hyper-attentive sensibilities, but in Italy, one is never far from history. Even in the highest mountains one views wartime fortifications carved into cliffs or comes across scraps of barbed wire or shell fragments. Glaciers periodically disgorge remains of some unfortunate soldier who escaped being blown to bits only to fall into a crevasse. The village sits at 6, feet, which would be low in Colorado or Utah but is very high for the Alps. Smooth-faced mountains with a jumble of detachable chairlifts rise to the north. Alessio, Cindy my sweetheart and I spend a couple of fun mornings cruising along perfect groomers just long enough to find suitable powder slopes, then off we go. The other side, very much so. Slopes sweep up steepening into a massive, miles-long cliff-wall punctuated by a couple of alpine cirques and several tight couloirs. A modern high-speed gondola scales one of these cirques and passes through a notch in the cliff wall. Beyond that, a high hanging glaciated valley saddles out at 10, feet and gives access to the Adamello Glacier area. If you avoid obsessively demystifying the place ahead of time on Google maps or topo apps, Passo del Tonale and the Adamello Glacier zone are a varied and fascinating area that can yield one discovery after another, including descents of over a vertical mile. As they did for me. One easy hit is known simply as The Couloir. Other areas might have more snow but be overrun with people, or have the biggest relief and the most impressive peaks but get great snow only about every 10 th year. After all, we were in Italy , a culture that lives and breathes wonderful food, wine and coffee. I say that only because, historically, Italian establishments had a very uncertain relationship with plumbing. Not here. In addition, there was some bizarre lighting circuitry in which LEDs would randomly dissolve among various garish colours. Of course, I was here to do real touring. The snowfall had resumed after our descents of The Couloir and The Prostitute and, as we rode the gondola the next morning, we saw the wind had blown as well. Traversing from the top station was pure slab. We travelled ultra-conservatively, staying on low ridgetops, ever-conscious of hazards above, below and beside. Not so some others. One guy on skinny ski-mo gear kicked off a wind slab, got carried down a ways, picked himself up and promptly skied into a huge slab pillow, burying himself neck-deep. Lower down, some split-boarders were ripping turns on a sun-baked slope that had already detached three slabs. Alessio and I timed things to shoot across between their runs as far from the run outs as we could get. At last we were in the relative safety of the skin-up area. Across ran the long, sinuous, heavily crevassed Adamello Glacier. And beyond that, numerous additional peaks and glaciers that would warrant a multi-week visit rather than my meagre four days. The Adamello Glacier and its huts are where a young Polish cleric named Karol Wojtyla many decades ago would visit for the feelings of height, solitude and physical effort that, he felt, brought him closer to God. He went on to climb major peaks in the Himalayas, summiting Dhaulagiri, and also crossing the North Pole. Alessio and I had a more achievable summit in mind. We were able to stay on a relatively protected shoulder for much of the two-and-a-half-hour ascent. I kept thinking that my Canadian avalanche course instructors would suffer a series of heart attacks, strokes and exploding heads at the sight of me right now, and my choice of route would flunk me out of any Canadian course. Before long we were at our saddle and into the usual ritual of unskinning, swapping layers, having a drink and snack and clamping down our boots. A few other ski tourers and splitboarders were doing the same, and all were questioning Alessio and wondering why a North American would come here. Although it sounds too good to be true, the slopes we were contemplating had been copiously dumped upon but looked utterly untouched by wind. Blower wherever any snow could settle, framed by massive cliffs. We pushed off, well-spaced, and were instantly waist-deep and engulfed not merely by face-shots but descending entire face pitches. As we stopped between pitches, we looked up and noticed a couple of them skiing in our tracks. One section was, admittedly, too flat to turn much even on our wider skis. Gradient soon returned, however, and three successively steeper pitches followed. One of them must have been 1, vertical feet all by itself. Though still very light, the snow was slightly settled, allowing us to accelerate into fast ripping turns, throwing our skis far out away from us and ending up nearly chest-deep at each apex. Now we were in a narrow valley beneath a mile of rocky, snow-blasted relief in the dazzling late-morning sun. At the mouth of this valley lay the village of Ponte di Legno at 4, feet. After shooting past the last danger zone, another 2, vertical feet of pleasant glades, tree skiing and zig-zaggy forest trail lay ahead. Everything remained attached.

It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:.

Hi all, After recommendations from this very forum some friends four adults, four children and I are going to Passo Tonale on the 22 Feb and we are sooooooooo looking forward to it. My question is really aimed at people who have been. Is there anywhere to exchange sterling and is it better to do so, rather than back in the UK. I feel Uk banks etc etc rip the people here off with there exchange rates and I am hoping to get a slightly better deal in Italy. PS I do everything in cash, ie no cards Many thanks DJ. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Drunkenjoiner , it's a few years since I spent a week in Passo Tonale, but I was there for a day a few weeks ago, and it didn't look to have changed much. From my recollection, there was a single cashpoint in Passo Tonale. I don't recall a bank. I wouldn't rely on being able to exchange your money there. I think I managed to lift some euros from the cashpoint when I was in Passo Tonale, but beware as lifting money on a debit card is often the worst thing to do. Overall though, I don't think your assertion about exchange rates in the UK is correct. Have a look at moneysavingexpert to see what the best way of exchanging money is in your particular circumstance. It can make a big difference where you exchange the money and how much. Sadly, the best option in terms of exchange rates, of a credit card specifically tailored to international travel, isn't generally available when you're skiing, as the restaurants are pretty keen on cash. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Thanks sugarmoma for your answers. I will take a look at moneysavingexpert and try sort out the best exchange I can. Best regards, DJ. You need to Login to know who's really who. Drunkenjoiner , I don't know Passo Tonale but from experience I know that finding a cashpoint in Italy can sometimes be difficult. And I most definitely wouldn't rely on just one - what if it has a fault? If you don't use cards you'll be better off taking plenty of euros - and as sugarmoma says, shop around for a decent rate. You will probably find that the difference between the best and the worst offers wouldn't pay for much of a round of drinks. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. Google maps show a bank sort of opposite the bottom of the Vittoria lift. There is definitly a cash point I've used it , but can't remember if it has a bank attatched or not. You'll need to Register first of course. Thanks for your replies guys. I think I will just take a lump of euros and shop round this side for the best deal. I must admit pam w, people me often get eat-up on the best rate but usually it only make a difference of a large pizza anyway. Whatever happens, I really cannot wait. Best regards DJ. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports I went there a few years ago and it is the only place I have ever had trouble getting money out. I bank with Halifax and kept trying the cash point by the bank in the centre of town but it kept refusing it, I asked in bank there but no help, called Halifax and they said it was because I had not told them I was going away, But I have never had to do that before. Probable lost an hour ski time, so since then always take enough for the week. After all it is free. It's been a few years for me too, but from memory there is a cashpoint in Passo Tonale somewhere near the medical centre in the 'main' village There is definitely a bank and cashpoints in Ponte di Legno though, which is the larger town down the valley. I would say it's a min walk from the base of the lifts into town though. The ski down used to be sketchy and very dependent on conditions but I gather there is snow making now and a fairly new gondola back up. If conditions are good then the skiing is nice in the trees at Ponte di Legno normally quieter than up in Tonale too. I believe there are now runs down as far down as Temu with lifts back up also. Went there several times with school groups before the newer lifts were installed and really enjoyed it. Have fun! Cheers LY. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. There is also a cashpoint next to or opposite the ticket booth near the gondola up to the glacier. I know because when I tried to buy lift passes on a card the machine link was down and they could only accept cash so had to make a withdrawal. Agree with others though that exchanging money before you go is usually better than withdrawing on a debit card due to the two charges applied to the transaction. Some cards are still free abroad and pre pay cards overcome this as well. It isn't, it's up the road a bit in a short run of shops opposite the Hotel Paradiso. Ski the Net with snowHeads. Not sure of your level, but if you are not up for the tricky run down to Ponte di Legno you can easily take the gondola down then access the village and tree lined runs from there. Ohhh, we're going to passo tonale for the first time on the second too! Was search for advice mostly pistes, when a fund this thread. Thanks all. See you there drunken joiner!
