How Much Electricity Does A Pedistal Fan Use

CIASPOLATA DA FAVOLA...





Neve… c’è! Ok .
Sci d’alpinismo… ci sono? No… azz .
Ciaspole? Si!
Perfetto allora partiamo.

E’ il 14 febbraio, ore 8. Elio, Angelo, Luca e Max sono pronti per una nuova avventura sulle nevi della Valmalenco. Tutti sul Pandino Yellow di Luca perché la neve è tanta e ci vuole una agile, because we are made of wood.
and Angelo Elio come from St Moritz and they all start from the Val di Sondrio headed 'Bachet. Lanzada cross and climb up to Camp Franscia then climb again headed to the dam and abandon the car in the parking lot before the retreat of Campo Moro. Here the adventure begins!

We have snowshoes to walk ... we are a bit ' awkward but it's part of our nature :-)
We take the road that leads to the bar and we find the early signs are almost completely submerged by snow. Forgot your day is fantastic, the sky is blue but I would not miss one small detail: the Temperature -20 marks the start. No fear, we are "hot" in it ... We continue following the trace of snow left by other climbers and go back into the forest. Climbed the hill begins to penetrate the eye of the pyramid Pizzo Ladder (m.3323), stylish top that constantly dominate the whole of our tour. Descend to the valley where are located the first huts Campagneda, and where the shelter is located just Ca 'Runcasc. We pass by two frozen streams and we take the path (this time we go to memory, because we are the first human beings to be passed) by taking our right to direct the Rifugio Cristina. Our aim is to make a round trip to piedi del pizzo Scalino per mostrare il panorama ad Elio, che per la prima volta visita Campagneda. Saliamo e saliamo, la neve è tanta ma mai come il freddo. Prima di raggiungere la piana ecco sulla destra una Sacra Statuetta incastonata nella roccia. Ci fermiamo per la fotografia di rito perché merita veramente, oltretutto qualcuno prega per avere un termosifone o anche solo un po’ di caldo. 1..2..3..Click! Foto fatta. La salita continua fino alla piana che d’estate è circondata da grandi rocce ma in questo inverno sono completamente sepolte dalla neve. Superato il valloncello raggiungiamo un altro pianoro dove si vede la chiesetta, il rifugio Cristina ed alcune baite. Luca e Angelo salgono sul tetto della prima casupola che è praticamente sommersa snow and then ... for salllltoooooo off! Shortly after we meet a group of "Caspoggini" which, with skis, climbed to Cristina da Acquanegra. A few words of courtesy and they just tell us that we are officially at -26 degrees. Going Home: O-. There are about 11 in the morning and the sun is high in the sky. .. We went to the shelter without thinking (closed) and then we are moving towards the north east at the base of Pizzo Scalino to return to Alpe Campagneda rising from ponds. You do not see rocks, but just a huge expanse of snow, not to mention that there's a chill wind and stinging. But the group of intrepid "ciaspolari" goes on without fear! After passing various ups and downs and we see before us and the beginning of the Alpe Prabello Poschiavina Val. Imagine you see the lakes because they are completely buried by snow. On our right there is always that searches us Scalino Pizzo. It is very cold and we decided to hike to the cabin for a hot meal. En route, a snowshoe Max breaks because of the cold and so we're screwed ... did I say it again and a bit 'a raffle and crook come to destination. The manager welcomes us (cold), but those temperatures the stove will not work either ... :-)
But hunger is so great and the fried polenta with the wine warms us properly. Belly full, snowshoe route, salute and go down to the valley. After about 40 minutes we arrive at the machine. The cold has not yet given up but we ended a wonderful trip! Felici remounted on Pandino Yellow and descend to the valley ... we certainly have noses a little 'red but we're darn happy!
