Section 6 Ice and Snow Meadow Walk
I went to the land beam to climb the mountain in the first two weeks, which is also my habit. At this time of year, it is the same to go there, it is all thin mountains and forests with dead branches. If there is no snow on the mountain, it is better to climb the mountain in Fengyu. However, the smog is too heavy these days, so I have to choose to go to the high-altitude mountains to avoid the haze. The watershed is the best place, the air on the mountain is fresh all year round, and when the weather is clear, it is always blue and white. Although the temperature is now very high, it has not snowed for a long time, and there may be no snow on the mountain. However, if the air is good, everything is fine.
Since last year, he has taken this route many times with Ice Rock. Therefore, when I contacted on WeChat, I just asked if I could still sign up, and the other party sent my information over for verification. In the afternoon, I said to report another one, and the other party immediately knew that it was Jin Ling. Hey, the quality of their service is really in place, and in that regard, their organization is the best among the outdoor teams in Xi'an. When I got to the car, the team leader came to say hello. It's good, it's kind. Especially the seats, which met my request every time, reserved a seat in the first row.
Before the car reached the chicken coop, I saw snow on the mountain. When we started to go up the mountain from Dongpinggou, there was thick snow and thick ice under our feet. The temperature in the mountains is too low, and the heavy snow that fell last week is still accumulating. It's just that the weather is good this week, and the temperature is high at noon, but the outer layer of snow is still melting, and the snow water seeps underneath, making it a layer of ice underneath. The road was slippery and we put on crampons as we started the climb. And without crampons, imagine how difficult it is.
By the time we got up to the fast lift, it was hard to wear crampons. The slope is too steep, the ice is too thick, and the snow on it is also more than ten centimeters thick, which is unusually slippery. There is also a deep ice run down the mountain trail, which was skied down by someone who came from the previous week. Many of today's team members are new climbers, with no equipment, and simple loafers have made them suffer. The last seven men formed a group, and when they reached the meadow, they were pulled down by the troops in front for more than an hour. You can see how difficult it is for them.
We came prepared. Therefore, it is exciting to see such a thick layer of snow and completely enjoy it. On this section of the steep slope, we happily sat at the end of the "slide" and pretended to slide down. The way we look makes us happy and the envy of our teammates. There was a teammate who couldn't resist the temptation and sat on the snow like us, but he really couldn't control the rush when he was fat, which made everyone laugh.
It was such a surprise that there was such a thick snow in Dongpinggou. Looks like it's the right place to be here today!
Laughing all the way to the meadow. The meadow was rarely free of strong winds, and there was no snow on the entire meadow, except for a large patch of snow next to the largest tree. This is because the meadow is sunny, without any shade, and the sun is abundant. In winter, except for the day and the next day of snow, no snow can be seen on the meadows, no matter how thick the snow is in the mountains and forests. Therefore, the largest tree in the meadow, the rare Snow God Tree, is like this. That's it for today, this tree that brings me infinite happiness, whether it's a snow robe or not, I want to send my salute forward.
Since that time, many people went up to this tree and caused a very bad impact, and the re-sent regiment was basically not allowed to stay here. Of course I understand what the team leaders mean. So, walk over and take a picture and hurry away from this location. Then, we reveled in the meadow for a short while, as a show for the Snow God Tree, and then we walked towards the sky.
Walking into the forest, I found that the snow here was thicker than in Dongpinggou. From the arrow bamboo forest of the meadow to the snow in Chaotianchang, there are more than 30 centimeters thick, and one place is even thicker than a meter, and the snow is whiter than in Dongpinggou. It's the higher altitude here, it's colder, and the snow doesn't melt. Therefore, although the snow is thick, it is not slippery. It's just a foot deeper, and then a foot deeper, the trek is still very laborious.
The snow is so thick and so white, it makes us really excited. I thought it might be the thickest snow we've seen today, and the snow from Chaotianchang to the watershed might have melted almost, or it might be the last snow we've seen this spring. Therefore, we just thought about taking pictures of the law, leaving the appearance of being in the deep snow, and we couldn't stop laughing happily. Besides, Chaotianchang goes to the watershed, whether there is snow or not is unknown, the snow in front of you is so thick, you have to play in the moment and cherish the present.
It's almost time to play, and I can't see any teammates behind me, I'm worried that the two of us are walking in the end, and it's not good to drag everyone's hind legs (only after going down the mountain did I know that the last team of people left us two hours behind in Chaotian Field, and the whole crossing was more than four hours away from us), so I started to stop playing, and finally sprinted to Chaotian Field!
The dumb mouth that turned up to the sky was full of thick muddy water, which was difficult to walk. One step before the dumb mouth, our shoes are still clean. Now, after only a few steps, my shoes are dirty and muddy. Such a muddy road all the way to the arrow bamboo forest in front of Chaotianchang. It made everyone complain. Even the little yellow dog we met on the field was a belly of mud, and it followed the example of people, and went into the forest of the watershed, and when the snow was thick again, when we rubbed our shoes in the snow, it also rolled and crawled in the snow to clean itself.
There was no wind or snow on the court today, so it was very warm. The sky was not very clear, so it was the same as on the meadow, with no blue sky and no white clouds. In my opinion, without the blue sky and white clouds in winter, the mountains will be average. When there is snow, the view is on the mountain. Therefore, we hurried again and continued to cross the watershed.
Originally, I thought that this side was walking on the ridge and the beam facing the sun, and the snow must have melted almost now. I didn't expect that the snow here is also better than that of Dongpinggou, and there is basically no ice underneath. This is because this side is higher than the altitude of Dongpinggou. It seems that we do not have enough knowledge.
Walking in the snow half a foot deep again, everyone was elated again. From the launch tower, it's all downhill. Everyone had a fun time in the snow. Someone as naïve as me is, of course, the first to bear the brunt. There was another person walking with him, who preferred to slide down. Therefore, the work of our friends who used other slides down is "you guys are skating in a group". Four people slid down in a string, which was really fun. It's fun, and we're just going to do it all the time. We will not let go of anyone who can do a slide. Slide down together, have fun together. That's happy, that's how childhood is.
This kind of happiness is always longed for and nostalgic for today's people. Therefore, the most skiing buddy who skied together said "it will snow again next week, let's play again" before he even got out of the mountain, and of course I agreed: then we will sign up now, and we will ski together next week.
Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, we reached the watershed. And so began the long wait. Four hours later, she waited for her teammate, who was "still thinking that she would die on the mountain" in her own words, and was carried out by the team leader Ergou. Finally, the whole team went down the mountain safely.
Happiness is far greater than the impatience of waiting. Therefore, Dongpinggou crossing to the watershed is another pleasant enjoyment!
