Tarvisio 31/01/07

Blue skies again as we headed out for Tarvisio. A day riding the trees, looking for an off piste route down to the road in Cave and a quick shopping trip to the fun fish mongers in town (should you want to you can pick your fish from the selection swimming around in huge tanks).

Sadly one of the main pistes was close due to a race day so we headed off along the ridge line to look for new lines and fun places to play.

Whilst looking around the village at the top of Tarvisio and admiring the view we also found the most superb rail.  It just might take a while before I’ve plucked up the courage to session it. Watch this space!

Again on the route home we were treated to the most awesome alpenglow, sadly my camera work isn’t up to much so you’ll just have to trust me when I say that the top 300m of the rock walls above Log Pod Mangratom were bright pink.
