On Sat 04.05.2013 went from Mač to Kališče on Storžič. Path nicely passable (snow just remnants). Careful on descent as rocks still slippery some places. Lots of visitors on Storžič that day, season open
Precise as a clock.1

Previous poster already described the conditions, so nothing to add. Path passable bp. Today after quite a long time back on Storžič from Mač. Early hour paid off, as it was clear only about half an hour after my summit arrival, later nothing much. Quite interesting how quickly the weather worsened here today from pure clear skies to completely cloudy or foggy.eek
Good training for new challengesnasmeh. Regards!

Don't know about north side, but J and JV tested today nasmeh.

Start Laško (to the end on gravel from Bašelj). Then first a minute or two back on road and right up towards Lovrenc, but soon off marked path right up trackless into hill. Higher up trackless to marked path from Lovrenc to Storžič. Then on that path to junction of marked paths (L - Javornik pasture, R - Kališče), but not continuing on either, straight up unmarked path to summit. Back down eastern ridge to Kališče and down to start.

Path without issues, unmarked part up well trodden and easy to follow, no snow on whole path anymore... well, except a bit at Bašelj saddle, but pic will show seriousness mežikanje.

In short, nice loop in even nicer weather nasmehnasmehnasmeh.

At Kališče met group of park rangers in blue and I think also mountain rescuers on some training. Among them one known face from this forum... Good lads velik nasmeh!!!
Up there....1
On the SW ridge... almost the whole world can be seen.... :-)2
This uphill path doesn't let you breathe.... you have to bend your knees constantly.... and when it appeared, I was really glad to see it ;-)3
No comment.4
The only serious snow problem ;-)... last remnants of snow on Bašeljsko sedlo, but even that will soon be gone.5
And also a view back there where I was, from the path already lower below Kališče towards Bašelj.6

jesihar for the other side I'll tell you. Today shortly before 5am from home below Storžič through Žrelo to Storžič. Through Žrelo no problems except crossing two, three snowfields. Down via Škarjev rob, where ice axe obligatory. Still quite some snow in gullies, so descent tricky and dangerous. Nice weather, almost no wind. Saw some hikers, met none. More in pics. Road to home below Storžič in decent condition.

Do you perhaps know if there's still any snow on the path over Psico. If I understand right, no more in summit part of Storžič?? Would return via Kališče.

As far as I'm concerned, can't say 100% sure. But judging from afar, how it looked, how little snow left in SW gully and W ridge completely dry.... think it would go. But ?????

..well, I was on Javornik pasture in the afternoon. Looks like the ridge (path over Psica) is completely snow-free.. Only some snow left in the gully dropping from the summit to the pasture..

Has anyone hiked recently from Jekarica to Storžič? Is there still snow on the "north" side or so much that crampons and ice axe are needed?

Here's today with my mate on Storžič. We tackled it from Povele over Psica, descended the gully to Javornik pasture and on to Povlje.
Psica ridge is completely snow-free, right under the summit need to make one (1!) step on snow. Path otherwise very pleasant and varied.
In the gully to Javornik pasture there's still quite some snow, but path mostly avoids it and crosses it only at a couple short spots, where it's neither steep nor icy and goes without winter gear. Otherwise this descent is a bit awkward, cos at the top lots of nasty muddy scree that sticks to boots and increases slipperiness, lower part the gully completely wrecked by avalanches.
Lower in the forest also quite some downed trees, doesn't look great but no special issues.
Overall nice tour, highly recommend despite minor descent hassles in current conditions. By weekend situation might change...

Does anyone know how the last snowfall whitened Storžič? What are the winter/snow conditions like and which path is the most snow-free?

Yesterday's view of Storžič shows snow melting fast. Best path will surely be from Kališče. No sun this week though. I'm waiting too. Tempts me only the unmarked path from Lovrenc, which runs from Lovrenc right through the middle of Storžič. Don't know if it's described anywhere.

From St. Lovrenc church the path is marked further to the cross path. There step two paces right and straight up. It's trodden. Under summit even old markings can be sensed. If nowhere else, M&M surely described this path.

Daaam29. 05. 2013 08:16:00
M&M description is actually very similar to the above note..short and concise.. In normal visibility won't miss it.. Too much talk about this approach not great either nasmeh ..so it stays as is .. more remote zadrega
