Tips and tricks
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).

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.

Skialp trips
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.
