At first the Stecher-Twins test how thick the ice is on the mountain lake
Manuel gives his O.K. The sun peaks through the breaking clouds.

As the clouds break open the Stecher-Twins spontaneously take another spin on the lake
Mario Stecher tests the first bombrop on the slightly frozen Heiterwanger See
The first attempt fails, but the dry suits keep you reasonably dry
Manuel can do the acrobatic jump...

...und auch die Landung wird sicher gestanden
Slowly, but surely the ice layer is getting thicker and the twins have buckle down to reach the shore
A fare-well with sunshine. Tyrol waves the Stecher-twins goodbye with a breathtaking panorama of the Alps
