When we are out and about in the mountains, we often hardly notice how many small details have been changed by human hands so that we can travel safely and enjoyably. We take path markings and signs for granted, and we usually don't think much about the use of handrails either. We often don't even realize how much work goes into building and maintaining trails. I volunteered to spend a weekend working on the trails team of the Südwien-Mürzer-Oberland Mountain Association. I wanted to gain an insight into what work is needed to make life easier for all those interested in the mountains and to actively contribute something myself.

After the unfortunately somewhat warm start, a whole series of small to medium dumps now follows. And that means PowderAlert again.

From the summit of the Göller, the parade ski mountain of the eastern edge of the Alps, the Schneeberg (at 2076 m the highest mountain in Lower Austria), shows its gentle side. This mountain offers such diverse terrain that it even has its own up-to-date ski guide with a total of 200 descents and variants on 240 pages. This mountain was first climbed on skis in 1895, again by the well-known Toni Schruf.
