"pülverle" non-serious Swiss-German verb (to powder, litterally translated) for doing sports in deep powder snow.
My husband went deep powder skiing with his “powder-buddy” today. I’m a fairly good skier, but I feel not very comfortable skiing in deep powder. So I went all alone on a snowshoe hike in the morning hours. I enjoyed the fresh powder, the silence and made my own trail of snowshoe prints. For a long time I was all on my own. But when coming down to my starting point after that round tour, I saw those blue ones climbing the mountain in the tracks I made a couple of hours before.
So pretty! Our snow is rarely powder, too warm for that. And if it stays very long it becomes more ice than snow as it melts in the sun then re-freezes at night. But when we do see powder, it's so cool to head out in it on snowshoes. Love the photo.
Lovely shot. I was never good at deep powder either. It takes so much patience and timing. I ended up loving cross country skiing for the same reasons you like snow shoes.
