mukica if I correct you gully was skied 18.11. then also Savinjsko sedlo and track to Ledinski vrh. I'd say deflowering untouched slopes big. True, wind probably covered tracks wink

Good luck

@kitta, we two noticed ski tracks only in the lower part still way before the gully entrance and on the plain, higher up they were obviously covered by windblown snow, and even towards Savinjsko sedlo it looked untouched from afar.... we were surprised because usually you can see lots of turns smilesmilesmile
Congrats for the ski descent and tour, I assume it's unforgettable pleasure in untouched whiteness and powdersmile

A bit more detailed description of conditions, given past weather.

Today I went towards Turkish Mountain through Turski Gully.
Road to Logarska is plowed to the last hairpin before parking under Rinka (a bit past Logarski kot). Track to spring is distinct, for hikers and skiers, but some fallen trees obstruct the path a bit. Snow is hard, so crampons can be used right from parking. From spring to Okrešelj fewer people, but still hard snow continues. From GRS station onwards to gully and Upper Okrešelj I saw only ski tourer tracks, which led only to gully left of the main one. I pulled track next to ski ones then continued right, kinda towards middle of slope where marked path zigzags, from there more direct to top of gully. Snow didn't improve, unprocessed up to 50-60cm. Middle of gully, between boulders and top, crevasse across almost full width. So I pulled track from slightly right to far left, as there's about 2m free between crevasse end and wall. Higher snow somewhat better. Gully top icy, also icy parts on path to Turkish summit and risk of slip there (I had unexpected ice axe arrest practice). As I was somewhat tired and tight on time, reached only slope below last subpeak. So track is there, now go have fun.
Also, if crowded in gully in such conditions, probably small avalanche from sliding/rolling snow volume.

One question: is the road to the parking lot below Rinka waterfall plowed?

The road is plowed a bit further past the turnoff for Logar Valley. From there it's about 15 min walk to the parking lot. If you have an SUV, 4x4 or don't mind your car, you can drive there too.

A bit below Menih, at the entry to Tschad route in the S wall of Turkish Mountain, we stumbled upon a technical Black Diamond glove, size XS today. If someone misses it, write PM.

We took it to the top, just before snow chases us away for a few days... nasmeh

@Urbann, I know who this glove might belong to. Two weeks ago we climbed Tschadovo with Piramida and my female climbing partner's glove flew away. I'll ask her if it's that one.

Regards

Hi. I'm interested in what the conditions are like to Okrešelj if anyone was there recently. And how is it further to Turska gora?
