For now still nothing.

No, tracks aren't that old. We three went up one day before you.
I see the weather on Sunday was nice too.

Today I was up there. Weather: fog, visibility 5 meters. If there'd been no tracks I would have turned back already at Lazovski preval. Accompanied by sun, rain, snow and fog.
Will need to repeat the tour once more in better weather.

Conditions in Y gully. Snow at top dry and firm, below wet and fragile. Climbed Y gully specifically right direction. Enough snow. Also fog, visibility only 5 meters. At top of ridge cornice, not big, but there is.

On Tuesday I was on Prestreljenik. Snow was wet and south-facing. We started from B station of Kanin cable car. There's still enough snow, just skiing conditions are getting rarer

Yesterday I was at the summit on skis. At summit at 11:30. Upper 100m elevation snow was mushy, below hard (just enough to ski). Sun strong, compensating cold with warmth. Three skiers overtook us but they didn't have proper gear for summit (crampons).

today I was on Snežnik, road is plowed, weather great, conditions top-notch. Only on top wind was strong over 80km/h.

Yesterday I was up there. I went via ferrata to the bivouac and then towards Mangart. Weather at the top was super (cloudy with gusts of wind). Quite a bit of traffic. No traces of snow anywhere. The path is strenuous, and drags seeeeeee.....

thanks for the conditions, I'll go up there within 3 weeks too.

Yesterday via Preparatory gully to Velika Mojstrovka. Through gully like highway, 2 rocky jumps (unpleasant crampon scraping), otherwise snow fine, skied from top. It was quite nicely frozen. At car 10.50. Don't forget, windy too.

Gully is super, because my buddy and I did the opening (first to tread)

We drove to the barrier, 5 cm of snow

Today 4 guys went to the Kepa summit. We cut a new trail, snow unprocessed. To bivouac OK, then crampons and ice axe needed. Last flank windblown to rocks.
