A day of splitboarding at a bigger hill next to the lake.
It included cooking sausages on a campfire and lots of skiing around looking for good places to ride down the steep face.

Independence day at Himos - not too much crowd and the slopes were all right. We even got a couple of pow turns in the "off piste", but had to be careful because under the fluffy stuff there is no hard snow yet.
