Yesterday (Friday, February 26) from the parking lot in Stara Fužina to Voje, then to Planina Zgornja Grintovica, then to Krsteniški Stog. From the summit to Preval between Jezerski and Krsteniški stog, then down to the basin Pod Ogradi. From there to Planina Krstenica, along the path towards Vojam then right on the forest road to Planina Blato. From there along the road to the parking lot.
I started as early as possible, around half past seven. The ramp is closed and operates only for owners, had to go on foot in touring boots on snowless asphalt to Voj. There I put on skis for about a kilometer and took them off at the beginning of the ascent to Grintovica, since the path is completely dry. Approximately at 1100 meters I put on skis again, but due to fallen trees had to unclip them several times, and sometimes bypassed the trees.
Planina Zgornja Grintovica in the sun felt pleasantly warm, even hot. I continued approximately along the path leading to Krstenica, a little below the ridge I turned right across the gully and on the flat further right and up to the larch-covered eastern slope leading to the summit. Crossing to the summit ridge was steep due to a large amount of snow and quite interesting. On the summit sun, no breath of wind and views second to none.
It was quite hard for me to prepare for the descent. I headed towards Preval under Jezerski stog, then skied almost straight deep down to the bottom of the basin Pod Ogradi. From there I ascended on southern snow back to the path to Krstenica, which, buried in snow, I reached in a few dozen minutes. The path towards Vojam also goes through clearings caused by a weather disaster a few years ago and they are quite interesting for skiing. At the rise Na vrhu (1457m) I left the path and skied along the forest road and also on it to Planina Blato. The road to the valley is impassable but skiable to about a kilometer before the junction for Voje or two kilometers before the parking lot, to which I walked back on asphalt of course.
Snow on the path was all sorts, most often southern. Above Vojam the path is dry up to about 1000m, higher up snow-covered with southern snow. Exception was a few dozen meters of shaded steep slope below the ridge where the path turns to Krstenica. There the snow was dry and powdery. On descent I kept to the boundary between sunny and shady areas, where there was no crust and also not too tracked. As far as I could notice, in distinctly shady spots above about 1600m snow is still dry and unprocessed. With weak rays of late afternoon sun it quickly began to freeze, an unpleasant crust for skiing formed. Also the road from Blato to the valley was in places quite hard or icy.
I didn't see more avalanches than usual at this time, it thundered three or four times - on southern faces of Mišelj vrh and eastern Ogradi. Each time debris from a mixture of snow, rocks and soil, of rusty color, rolled over the walls. A similar mass bypassed also Vodnikov dom, which is thoughtfully placed and doesn't seem threatened.
