balance sheet snowboarding season 2015/16

A very weak season, mainly due to two reasons:

  • weather: It was just too warm. Pre-season in November things looked hopeful with early snow, but December 2015 was absurdely warm. According to the weather station Damüls Hertehof (1580m above sea level) there were only three days in December when temperatures fell below 0° Celsius. I had my first snow day on December 6 followed by 3 more days in December (12, 19 and 20) with continuously worsening conditions. I gave it another chance on January 6th, but things had not improved and I paused until January 21, which was the first good day.
  • On February 7th 2016 I had a small accident at luging, resulting in a (partially) torn ligament at my left ankle joint. Joy. No snowboarding until March 13. My season ended on April 10, when Warth/Schröcken closed.
