We have been for skialpinism at Kamchatka from April 25 till May 10, 2009. Our group consists of ten people, six of them from the Czech Republic, and four of them from Slovakia. There were two girls in this group, nine skialpinists, and one snowboarder. We had to change our plans due to high volcanic activity of volcano Korjakskij (3456 m), which is without snow from 2250 meters to the summit. Trip was supported by KAMA, Voda hory, Tilak, Quill-outdoor, www.lacnyskialp.sk and Baston.

I hardly comment, but i did some searching and wound up here Mountainski.
eu: Skialpinism at Kamchatka 2009 – list of articles, photos and results.
And I actually do have a few questions for you
if it's allright. Could it be only me or does it appear like a few of these comments look like written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I'd like to
keep up with everything fresh you have to post.
Could you list of every one of your community sites like your
twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
