The three border freeride
Austria - Italy - Slovenia
Insert: 25.01.2010
I could say that history repeats, and we again along the way to Hermagor - Kanin - Sella Nevea. Last year we went there to see how it looks like seven meters of snow. And even when over heaps of the white gold was no powder, event it was great. In the first half of January it is snowing mainly in the South of Austria, but most in the Julian Alps. So it is decided. Although we originally thought that we drove to Bad Gastein, but the snow forecast decided for us. Our group is again comleted, so lets go!
According to the Slovenian promet server, the transition Slovenia - Italy Predel saddle require chains, because after last year's experience, takes Mojmír car, there was a four-wheeler is more secure and also to be a pretty nasty way to Graz and it should continued with heavy snowfall.
Scarcely, however, would take a Gazman and Frenky so even before Jablunkov wiper went out. I'm not used to the VW Transporter to the driving disintegrated. Jura as more experienced in the transporter club is a defect in the dense rain resolved, and he managed to everyone's satisfaction. Wiper was a poorly deployed.
But after moving the Slovak motorway stop working fan, so the windshield immediately blurs. Since that time actually operating the car consists of two people - a chauffeur and a window cleaner. The fan needs for its function a rough ways, when driving on straight road it refuses to cooperate, and therefore it sometimes has a kick to his co-driver finished. Otherwise, nothing significant is happening, and before eight o'clock in the morning we are in Hermagor.
Saddle the longest cabin in Europe until the real top of the resort. Already the first jump off-piste confirms our opinion of the correctness of the decision to go right here. It is enough of powder, but the weather could be better. It's a bit of diffusion and we do not see much at the top.
Therefore we went down below, where the visibility was better. We were essentially alone, the whole couloir is full of powder, we can ride between the huge boulders, but after a while we were there we got bored. And Mojmír utters the sentence, which we from him, never heard to say that he hurt his feet, and that he can not ski. But because it's his first day on skis, so forgive him. So we decided to end up here and we went down. We had three more days and there was no need to exaggerate.
Then we drove our car across to Slovenia, the road is passable in cool, not like last year when we had to drive around half of Slovenia, than we got into Bovec. In Bovec we found an apartmanhouse, the same as last year and just hope that the weather did not lie, because it was pretty nasty fog and I should be clear weather.
In the morning we were disappointed in total, according to web camera there was a foggy at the top so we did not rush there. So we slowly went to the the lift and travel at around ten oclock to top of the Kanin. There was total foggy day, not visible to five meters and therefore we spent most of our time in the pub. There we recognized two Slovak girls who worked here. Coincidentally, we knew the grandmother of one of them for several years. We were used to spent a time with my family in Lopušná valley, which is their home. The world is damn small.
When one of them, on request how it will tomorrow, answered that, just like today, we were pissed. I was affraid, I could take anyone here anymore. So we were skiing down three piste essentially from stick to stick lining the piste. We paid for one more night and we hoped for better next day, otherwise we were decided to went somewhere to Austria. But Frenk has one trick in the reserves. That if he took after a week new underwear there would be a nice day.
This is the last chance, otherwise we ended up. In Bovec there was a fog in the morning as every morning , but the panorama showed that the top is sunny, so did not expect anything and rolled into a mountain. Frenk thank you, it worked. The Kanin was really beautiful, so right away we skied lines that we practiced last year, snow is great, but again, watch out for holes. We were looking at the wall which is closely held to explore Viktor Galuška and we did not understand how it could survive.
We were trying to cross to the other side to get to Italy to Sella Nevea which is Bovec connected with a new cabin. With this cabin has resort increased once and added another Freeride possibilities. But oh Italians are very careful after heavy snowfall in previous days, they were shooting the avalanches that day. So we could not get to the Italy. When we saw the clean slopes, it was tearing the heart. We had to wait for The Sella Nevea until tomorrow. The second day was the resort opened, and we just tried Italian powder. I had found a couloir which comes from the saddle Preval down to Selly, it's a mile elevation and the ride would totaly worth it. But according to local guides there was not enough snow down, at least one meter was missing. Pity, but at least we got a reason to return here. Otherwise, these two resorts are for those who would like to play on skies, but I think everyone can find its own. So it would probably be all and I hope that it will be snowing in Czech Republic.
