No, didn't notice any poles anywhere, but it was well trodden to Jezerc, much less ahead, or rather nothing after you.

Yesterday we were on Jalovec. Snow starts only at bivouac height under Kotovo sedlo, hard, frozen, only in Ozebnik partly "wet". But we were early. No idea what the snow was like later.

Today at minus 15 or something like that up and down Ozebnik, no time for Jalovec. Snow is hard, above Ozebnik there are patches of wind-packed snow in a few places, nothing serious. Almost nothing flying, just a few small pebbles. On the saddle above Jezerci surprisingly sunny, warm and calm.
Problem is the descent from the point where there's no more snow, onwards. Already loose scree sugared with a centimetre of snow, so everything creeps and slides. Almost on the flat I barely caught myself a few times... Annoying! But day after tomorrow it will be different already...
Ah, and one more thing in this Siberian period: on return frozen diesel was waiting for me in the car..

Not much snow, but more than last week in the Karavanke, so I decided to go check.
Classic approach - along the ski trail to the hut, then through the forest and onwards along the scree - as soon as you get out of the forest, the minefield starts. The middle part is quite windblown, so on the ascent I went there on foot, then onwards on skis. Below Ozebnik some settled powder, mostly crusty snow, some icy crust too.
Across Ozebnik maybe possible with crampons, I went on foot. The exit is icy and sprinkled with mines, to the cornice above it's hard and partly icy.
Skiing though... up top fight for survival, central part windblown but much better than the rest, so OK.  lower part hard again. On the scree be careful, don't get too relaxed because it can pin you quickly.
If necessary, you can ski something, but I'd recommend "scree" skis, or the next snow dump.

28.01.17
Conditions to the middle of the Ozebnik were soft. From there on hard. No thaw at all. We climbed through the chimney where there was just enough ice for the ascent. Over the roof to the ridge and to the summit. Return via normal variant which was also hard. Southern neighbors and two of ours turned around a little above Jezerci. We also visited Veliki Ozebnik and another interesting gully. It was a nice, great day.
At the end I can add once again that this is not an easy climb. If the ascent to Triglav in current conditions is hard for someone, then don't even think about Jalovec.

Dejan, how do you manage all that, and from so far you have to drive - doing hard tours and demanding ones.

Yeah, guys are prepared as needed for such feats: young and good, no doubt. Hats off. Wish you safe steps as you surely need them.

On 20.2. I went through Ozebnik to Jalovec summit. I turned before summit due to bad weather. Snow soft but tracked. From Ozebnik summit I didn't go through chimney but followed summer path.

Good luck

There will be more snow in the next days.
Otherwise on 20.2 weather wasn't bad at all, from Mangart Jalovec looked really nice. From the spot under that cable to the top it's still a nice stretch of path.

@IgorZlodej Yes, most of the day great weather, around 14h clouds started covering the summit. When I looked back from Ozebnik, I was quite glad I turned back.

Yesterday there were quite a few ski tourers in Ozebnik and probably on Jalovec, and one hiker. Snow was to the end of the forest hard and wind-packed, further covered with new snow, a few cm at the forest edge, higher maybe 20 or 30 cm.
In the narrow under Šite mostly crusty, but ski ascent no problem. Similar in Ozebnik, most on skis, last steep on foot no excessive sinking, while hiker sank esp. in lower part, once or twice deep over waist. On descent met one ski tourer who skied whole Ozebnik (steep part too).
Winter chimney practically snow-free. Four or five left skis on ridge above Jezerci and continued to Jalovec top, also four German speakers who got stuck in lower traverse and returned.
Skiing down mainly mix of crust and blown snow, but ok to ride. From narrow under Šite down, skiing modest 20 cm powder on hard base pure joy. Easily to parking at Planica ramp.
Sky cloudless, fantastic.

Yesterday on top of Jalovec.
Start at 4am from Planica. Path to Tamar at that hour icy. But possible without crampons at spots. Further on scree and to Ozebnik slight sinking. In narrowest part steps well made no big issues. To Jalovec summit direct through chimney. Still very little ice left, but super hard stable. Ice axe in one hand, other hand on rocks. Then over roof to top. Windy on top but just right as it was already hot at 9am. Back normal variant. Melting so some trouble descending esp steepest part. Melting so fast gave up idea of big Ozebnik cuz no way trampling + dangerous at thaw. Quick descent to Tamar. Snow very soft. In narrowest rocks falling at 10am like conveyor belt. Coffee in Tamar at 10:30.
Great day otherwise but recommend very very early start! Can't imagine narrow after 12. Assume DANGEROUS! If again would go 1-2h earlier for sure.

From Planica on foot along the road to the hut in Tamar, then onwards with skis on our feet. Snow was frozen, with altitude it became softer.
Up to below the north face we were on skis, then crampons and towards the summit. Cveto persisted on skis far into the north face.
Yesterday some new snow fell which completely covered the base.
To the summit we went via the summer path, because the winter one is bare below. Conditions were good despite warm weather.
Skiing through the north face pure pleasure, lower a bit worse due to soft snow, in the lower part again nicely groomed snow and quickly we were at the deserved beer in Tamar.
To Planica we then used all patches of snow, ice, water, leaves and gravel.
First series of jumps we watched in Planica, second while analyzing the beautiful day at Danica's in Dovje.

On Wednesday 29 March, I slowly set off into a new day. For most it will be just another ordinary working Wednesday, but I hope for another wonderful day and good ski touring. The goal I set is quite demanding and will require effort from me, above all a lot of caution.
The entire tour is presented on the link, in words and pictures...29 photos
