MountainSki.eu concerns on different activites connected with snow or ice in mountains. Main activities are skialpinism and splitboard.
There is nice article Prevent Damage to Boot — Improper Use of Tech Bindings with photo of significantly damaged shoe around holes for pins of Dynafit Tech binding at website www.wildsnow.com. Shoes with proper shoe sole is almost impossible to damage in such a way, but if you shoe sole is damaged, it can be very easy.
At festival Kolem světa (Around world) – Praha 28. – 29. 11. 2009 I presented photos from our Skialpinism and freeride Ukraina 2009 organized by travel agency CK Alpina – annotation: Jan Pala – Skialp a freeride na Ukrajině.
Good news for owners of Dynafit binding. Quite an important component of this perfect binding tend sometimes crack and then break. In my experience, the fracture occurs prior to the creation of visible cracks, which in normal use is not available (I was probably skiing down Krcmar couloir in High Tatras on such broken binding).
Winter issue of magazine Koktejl Speciál 2009 will be published at the end of November. There are two articles focused on skialpinism activities in the former Czechoslovakia. Skialpinism in Beskydy mountains are described from Czech side, and High Tatras around Cabin below Solisko (1840 m) are described from Slovak side.
A lot of requests from fans of my memoirs I have decided to write other story from skialpinism trip Kamchatka 2009. Today's theme will be very interesting – Czech group landed at Kamchatka and we went on skis to Pacific ocean.
Russian vodka. I think, that trip Kamchatka 2009 started nicely. During flight in business class of Aerfoflot (thank you to travel agency www.tucan.sk for incredible price) we became good friends with vodka. Whole trip is described at: Skialpinism at Kamchatka 2009 – list of articles and photos. Trip was supported by KAMA, Voda hory, Tilak, Quill-outdoor, www.lacnyskialp.sk and Baston.
Between 13 and 21 March I spend time by skiing at Ukraine. The first idea was from my friend Palič, and he agreed with CK Alpina at Zakarpatskou Ukrajinu v zimě for the trip. At the beginning it seems, that we are alone for skimountaneering, but we met two guys from 155. HO Vsetín Petr Šiška, Joséfek and daughter of Petr Šiška. The rest of the group are people from all parts of Czech Republic, including brainless guys from the capital city.
I am currently working in Slovenia this second week of November. There were nice weather today on Wednesday, November 11, so I decided to go several kilometres outside of Ljubljana to ski resort Krvavec, which is situated in altitudes from 1450 to 1970 meters. Terrible summer without snow and skis are over, last skiing was on May 8 during trip Skialpinism at Kamchatka.
I went for trekking to Norway in summer 2008 – Jak jsem se sám poflakoval jižním Norskem. I visited and have good party at Cabin Rondvassbu in National Park Rondane. I agreed with cabin-keeper for a job in winter 2009 for two months. For sure, I took all my ski-alpinism equipment with me.
Ceremonious intruduction of Calendar HO Kailas 2010 will be held in cinema Artefakt, Slovanská 3, Nový Jičín on Friday, November 13, 2009. Members of this mountaineering club had godd fun with taking these pictures and printing them on glossy paper to size A2.
