In Vrata, dry powder snow, hunter's trail almost to junction with PP dry but frozen. Snow starts on descent to Črlovec, on traverse PP to branch for Gulce no issues. Avalanche under Gulce pulled deep down to Vrata. After avalanche recommend crampons. Last third of ascent to Gulce huge unprocessed dry snow that grinds under feet. Continuing to top all grinds, some rock scraping unavoidable.

Does anyone know conditions from Vrata to Gulce saddle and maybe further to Kuk's Peak, or up gully to Škrnatarica.

Breakfast on top surely even the gods from Olympus envied me. 
On path only once must step on snow, that's when crossing Črlovec. Upper screes with long snow tongue speed up descent nicely.

Path well traceable except on scree under Gulce where you must search for easiest ways up as down ones are visible. First time on KŠ and don't recommend in fog. Today the fog reached up to 1800 m. Snow just a pinch on top.

Yesterday at seven I bite into the cloud above Črlovec. Through soft snow without excessive sinking the sun appears just below Gulce. Occasional rumbling from the gully around Škrnatarica, besides chamois, ptarmigan and 2 chicks the only sign of life this morning. Towards the summit I avoid two frozen parts along already dry paths. Last 10 days back, the box with the book is well above the snow.

Yesterday my colleague and I set off quite late for Kukova špica. Trail through the forest very pleasant and a bit breezy too. Unfortunately we missed the left turn and tree marker, so lost 15 min towards Sleme. Luckily we soon realized something was wrong and turned back. When we reached the scree where the path branches to KŠ, the strenuous ascent in hot sun began, so the path to Gulce saddle seemed twice as long. Very little snow and can bypass it everywhere, nature is already nicely waking up and full of flowers. From saddle onwards no more snow and summit completely dry, which doesn't apply to neighboring peaks like Škrnatarica and Dovški križ. Weather super (except heat), on trail met no living soul except some chamois. Gotta go to our mountains during the week sometimes

Today on Kukova špica. Due to an early start (at five), the conditions were excellent - due to partly cloudy weather (there were even some drops), it was easier to push through the scree. The trail is nicely followable. From the Vrtaško Sleme - Poldov rovt path, I went uphill at the big cairn - not the best choice, as I had to churn through quite some scree. On the descent, from that cairn I went about 50 m. There an easier path leads, which later joins the scree path. And also: from the Čez Gulce saddle to the summit, there are no followability issues; on descent, careful steps are needed due to scree on the slabs.

Today I went actually to Vrtaško Sleme from Črlovec via PP trail. At Črlovec I always park on the gravel road before the barrier to avoid walking on scree. But today when I was just putting on boots, the TNP warden stopped by me and quite friendly told me that parking there is forbidden and he'll have to write me a fine if I don't move the car. He said parking is allowed on sand by the road, where most hikers park anyway. Next year even there will be forbidden. When returning, there was already a small log placed there.

And did this friendly supervisory authority perhaps add anything about future solutions regarding parking in the valley? Will they maybe arrange some other parking lot for all visitors of the mountains above Črlovec? (And by that I don't mean parking somewhere in Mojstrana)
Mildly put, it's a bit funny that the official no-parking sign is a piece of dried log (toothpick) on the road.

I heard somewhere that in a year or two this road to Vrata should be reserved only for buses. That's probably a joke, because then I don't see the point of how to even hike to the mountains above Vrata. Tourists will then hike on foot with the bus to Vrata. Probably it was an April fool's joke.
