17.10.2020 start of the tour from C station (mandatory 4x4 vehicle). Put on skis at 1750 m altitude, less than 10' walk to there. At Prestreljenik saddle about half a meter of snow. Skiing down to the lowest chairlift no problem, then too many rocks, to the car less than 15' slow walk.

Yes, yesterday's Sunday on Kanin was real paradise for ski tourers. Of course relatively, given this lousy winter. Gondola takes the quintet for 13 € per person due to the desperate season of demoralized ski tourers from Nevejsko saddle to Prevala, there a nice surprise. In Krnica on Slovenian side there's a powder field for export, not quite virgin but still quite untracked, candidates wanting to carve their signature into it all around too. Situation crystal clear to the five, so no hesitation, quickly line up at start, blast into the bowl and whooping zigzag down the slope. 400 m vertical powder is real ski touring nirvana after long time. We climb to saddle below Prestreljenik and ski down in not much ski touring style on well groomed piste to parking. For successful end, analyze the experience with well earned hydration at Hram pri Aljažu in Dovje.

Ski touring on Kanin still doesn't disappoint. Start at Sella Nevea parking lot and then along the ski slope to Gilbertij (plan to be at Gilbertij by the ski area opening), otherwise the lift operators might complain. For ascent snowcats are an option, since on some of the steepest parts of the ski slope it's otherwise quite a bitch nasmeh

From Gilbertij a short descent, then along the prepared track to the saddle and then on the groomed section to Prevala. From there descent to our side, all the way to C station, then return and enjoying the sun at the closed Ski Bumbar - three loungers available. Otherwise snow on our side is super (from D station), it glides really nicely all the way to C station, otherwise snow over the weekend on our side was apparently down to cca 1,400m/1,500m

Some went to the window, others descended via Krnica, in short plenty to choose from.

otherwise a bit more at this link.
