On Thursday 17, January 2013, bruder and I went for a powder snow and beautiful weather to Malá Fatra. Mirka and Simona from Višňového joined us in Žilina.

I have participated at Dynafit Press Event that was hold at Rifugio Fanes (2060 m) in January 10–13, 2013. The programme consisted of introduction of a lot of Dynafit news for the following season, for example from boots (fantastic Dynafit TLT6) via skis (models Cho Oyu and Nanga Parbat) up to revolutionary DIN16 binding Dynafit BEAST. There was also the ski-alpinism guru from USA – Lou Dawson WildSnow.com.
Our combined (ski & climbing) group spent perfect days at Téryho chata (2015 m) in Malá Studená dolina in December 26–30, 2010. The skialpinism and snowboard part of the group consisted of nine people. The weather was quite nice, there were temperatures during the day from –14 to –18 C. The only exception was the last day, when the temperature reached –7 C. There were clear skies except two days.
Last Sunday before Christmas, December 19th we have been motivated by the celebration of Vseta's birthday to to for other skiing day. Thus, we went in the area of Radhost's massive. Vseta was very optimistic about powder snow and that's why we got up early in the morning. And we did not regret.
On the weekend 11th to 12 December 2010 Všeta arranged celebration of his almost anniversary birthday (note, Všeta will be only 25 next year, not 30 years old). As stated in an invitation to his celebration, this year it was just draft version, next year will be full party. The celebration was held at Certik's hut at an altitude of about 830 meters above sea level above the valley Tisňavy at the end of Velké Karlovice.
Arolla, the first skitour of the season 2009/2010. We were strongly hesitating whether to try or not, because the Meteoswiss promised us clouds, snow precipitations, strong wind and temperatures below –10°C at 2000m. Haha, they were wrong, again! Besides the temperature which was really low, Arolla welcomed us with bright sunshine and perfect powder snow.

Patrouille des Glaciers (PDG) is a ski mountaineering competition well known all over the Switzerland and recognized even by the non-initiated: Who’s going to win this year? A Swiss team or the French? Or, god forbid, the Italians? The Swiss army fighters fly in sky and draw Helvetian crosses, with intense noise provoking avalanches that might bury some poor buddies skiing outside the protected area…
