MountainSki.eu concerns on different activites connected with snow or ice in mountains. Main activities are skialpinism and splitboard.
I started in November 11, 2009 this winter season (Beginning of ski season in Slovenian ski resort Krvavec). It could be interesting to visit the same place at the end of ski season. Finishing work in Ljubljana on Friday April 30 in the afternoon we stayed for a moment at Krvavec, where we walked shortly and on skins. We skied one short couloir and sk-slope.
I was working in Rijeka, Croatia, just after Easter. On the way to the next stop in Zagreb, I digress from the main road just a few kilometres and came to the „seaside“ ski paradise Platak. Obviously, ski lifts did not work, but there were a lot of snow on the slopes, the surrounding woods and rocky gutters from 20–130 cm! You can just imagine perfect day starting with a morning skiing on the snow and then 40 minutes to ride down to the sea and go for swimming.
We have spent a week from March 19 to March 28, 2010 in different mountain areas of Monte Negro – supported by company KAMA. We skied in Prokletije, Bjelasica, Komovi and Durmitor mountain ranges. We started in restricted group of six people by Multivan in late Friday evening. Weather was not ideal for skialpinism, we had 2.5 sunny days and the rest days were in fog and rain. A lot of avalanches fell down everywhere around us.
I am getting out the chair lift. I have got on it at the hotel – It is perhaps half an hour, well to be accurate – on the first out of three sections of the lift – First 3-chairlift, then quite fast 4-chairlift and finally 3-chairlift again. Altimeter shows 3000 – about a mile more then the the hotel lies. All around I can see only snowy hills of Caucasus. Incredible great view. It is only twenty hours ago, this hilarious action has began in Prague airport by collecting of clothing and ski – a presents from Hannah. We are on the Hannah expedition.
From 26 to 30 December 2009 classic winter mountaineering camp was held by 155th HO Vsetín. Chata pod Rysmi was chosen as a place of action. Although we are not members, we participated at this event. Weather forecast changed almost every hour and the Christmas rain did not bode well, so the result seems to be at least uncertain, particularly with regard to the freeride riding in powder.
We spent several days with skialpinism and climbing in High Tatras, Slovakia at the end of December 2009. This year we chose cottage Chata pod Rysmi (2250 m). Original invitation is at Zimní výcvikový tábor na Chatě pod Rysmi from 155. Mountaineering club Vsetín. Previous weather was quite changeable including raining also at altituted above 2000 meters. This weather caused that group of freeriders was not riding almost at all. Only Devil-Certink has jumped twice.
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.
My favorite book „Nejkrásnější skitúry“ (“Best 50 ski tours”) contains ski tour Winnebacher Weißkogel (3182mnm), so I chosen this mountain and surrounding area as a target for Easters trip. We spent beautiful 5 days at Winnebachseehütte (2362 m) and Westfalenhaus (2273 m).
