The Engadine Fireburn is a popular place to backcountry ski...Hey, this is already our second time this winter! With basically no approach or avalanche risk, this broad, gentle run, (with burnt glades to explore on either side), makes for a great place for some low hazard laps when time is in short supply! Unfortunately this place is no secret, and any fresh powder that falls is skied off in no time...Lucky for us, it was our turn to be the ones to do it! LOL. The blizzard was still in full force after we made our way down Read's Tower, and there was no way we could drive past the (for once) untouched snow, without making some fresh tracks ;)!
