MountainSki.eu concerns on different activites connected with snow or ice in mountains. Main activities are skialpinism and splitboard.
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.
Members of 155. Horolezeckého oddílu Vsetín and friends spend after Christmas winter camp somewhere in High Tatras every year. In the last year we spent fantastic time at trip Chata pod Rysmi v prosinci 2009. This year we decided to visit after several years Téryho chatu (2015 m) in High Tatras – previous trip was excellent Skialpový konec roku 2007 na Téryho chatě ve Vysokých Tatrách.
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…
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.
