Gumpental
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
1.9 mi
76 ft
A nice run over open relatively low down
Starting from the top station of Gipfelbahn Hauser Kaibling chairlift you can test your skills in the tracked snow right of the slope, keep rather central in that snowfield and be careful not to ride over the edge to your right. That actually is a possible descent as well, but is really confusing and dangerous terrain with a rather long hike out, I would strongly recommend to not ride there. Back to the original route towards Gumpental- stay on that snowfield until you reach the first trees, and then slowly start riding to your right till you see a wide aisle without trees and rolling terrain. Don't turn right too early, because you might end up in a rather narrow gorge. The aisle is a perfect playground, some of the rollers kick quite heavily and the landings are clean. Turn left as soon as the forest ends to find another huge rolling snowfield with some boulders to jump off. There are also some bigger trees in the middle of that field. There are many line choices you can take over that snowfield; in general keep moving to your left. Between the edge in the terrain to your right and the tree stumps from a recently cut forest to your left you will find the exit. The terrain naturally leads towards the exit in form of a narrow forest road - carry some speed into this and beware of the bumps. Try to avoid shooting over the edge to your right under all circumstances. You now either follow the forest road or take a shortcut through a pillow line if you continue straight at the first right curve. From the shortcut back to the forest road, you will find a rather nasty compression - beware of this because there's nothing more embarrassing than falling flat on your face in front of your friends after the difficult skiing is over. Continue straight/left on the forest road until it merges with a winter hiking path, which is actually a forest road. You follow it downhill, so take the option to the right. Follow the road until you reach the slope Höfi-Abfahrt(3). You can now follow the slope to get to Höfi Express 1 chairlift and take a couple of lifts up to do another round and start of a new adventure. Written by FATMAP Official
