I agree, for skiing you shouldn't be too early. For Jame not too late. Somehow we tried to combine 2 hard-to-combine things... zadrega

Today Grinta was also in the sign of skiers, as I was the only hiker among the total ten visitors today. velik nasmeh

From the cable car, where there was only one car, I start a bit after half past six and in ideal dry conditions to the bench, where snow suddenly starts. It's hard, I take my own path as deep footprints are tiring. Short stop at the saddle, steady pace to the summit where a cold southwest wind was blowing. I settle at the tried wind-sheltered spot where one could sit down comfortably. Under the 'roof' I stop briefly, meet a female hiker there, just below the top I spot a group of four coming out of the caves - I overtook them uphill a bit before Kok. saddle. Boot-packing started as the sun had no obstacles, but to the saddle it was still somehow manageable. Real torment was the descent to the forest as the sun had already done its job, even though it was just noon.
So to Grinta (or elsewhere) with skis or early with headlamp to avoid trudging through rotten snow!

If there is enough snow, skiers opt for the approach over Jame for skiing.

First picture from the summit towards Peč, Skuta and Planjava.

Around it, it's already somewhat trampled.

Ojstrica and Planjava, in front the summit parts of Turska gora and Brana.

Kogel and Dolge stene, in between Kemper bivouac.

From my shelter. In the middle Košutna 1974, to the right Veliki Zvoh and further right Krvavec.

Mhm, we two were without skis. A mountaineer on the ascent through Jame.

Tone, good thing you're a very experienced mountaineer and hiker. Some warn that Grinta's roof is very dangerous in case of slip or mistake. You can quickly take the shortcut to Taška. Careful and good luck! nasmeh

Right, Lino! Despite the relatively gentle and long roof, in bad conditions there's slip risk. Many years ago a young athlete slipped to his death. I'll never forget. I was the last one to exchange a few words with him upon meeting.
