The snow was cleared in the morning. But since then, it was snowing hardly and the road was already covered with thick fresh snow. Higher you climb, more snow you have and more difficult to climb. You needed two times more power to climb than on the compacted snow. During the climb, when he thought it would be difficult to climb further due to thick fresh snow, a snowplough came and cleared the fresh snow. He could climb without problem after the passage of snowplough. He climbed twice and every time, he repeated the interval training at the summit. The snow was a little muddy in the corners on the descent. So he had to slow down in the corners at the speed of about 45km/h.
