You missed the topic title a bit. Maybe it would be good to have some alert admin to move such deviations to appropriate sections. I'm not saying that ranting about pikavci who crush ski touring tracks isn't eternally interesting, but when I open "Current conditions" and find philosophical constructs and andi2 "joking", I feel like a foolish creature who, naively expecting good info, wanders into slimy arguing and smart-assing.

Is there any admin here or something like that. Primoza is obviously a frequent mountain visitor. Many equate that with humanity, compassion, solidarity and tolerance. But this person insults, humiliates, mocks and sneers without restraint. His malice might be acceptable to those with the thickest skin, but it bothers me because I believe respect for others is a basic value. And this portal (behind which stands a person with name and surname) by approving such posts as primoza spews encourages negativity, intolerance, mockery, humiliation in open and covert form. I feel sorry for this person in a way, because through his emotional outbursts he reflects his childhood frustrations and tries extremely hard to attract attention. Such a popular portal like hribi.net should not provide a playground for expressing such obvious psychopathologies. Or maybe it should. Perhaps some like it. Not me. I can't accept the idea that our servile genetics of "Vienna stable boys" just calls for someone to mock us, humiliate us, curse us and order us around. I'm definitely not one of those.

Today on Grintovec super weather. I met only one hiker, and even that one was without crampons. He left them at home because there was no space in the backpack. Therefore there were plenty of little cheeses and yogurts as befits a real mountaineer.

I apologize if someone before me already started this topic, but I often wonder why a country that has the Alpine Association, which is the second largest society in the country by number of members, doesn't have a regular show about mountains, mountaineering, climbing on national or any other TV. I guess I'm not the only one who misses seeing some local production sometimes. And one more thing. Where can one watch (buy) the films that were at the Mountain Film Festival. They present them there, then we can only watch trailers. You can say that firefighters don't have their own show either, but they should take care of that.

Yes, full of prophetic wisdoms. On this occasion I'd brighten your day with religious deepness of apocalyptic proportions: "Whoever fights with sh*it gets sh*tty, even if he wins"! From the book of prophet Vitranc, 40-55, 1:1, chapter 4.

At 12:48 on the web camera: police control on Smarna Gora

Primož, better isolation than grounding!

I come to the hut and only I had a mask and gloves. Everyone else was in pants, shoes, socks, shirts ...

Don't fall for it. I found out that the decree on entering the store only in gloves and protective mask is a plain scam. I'm still ashamed that I fell for it. Embarrassment for two generations back.

Dimen-antrax, now you can dig through snow every day from chairlift to saddle and wonder if divine punishment hit you or you were just a bit clumsy.

Kuki, don't mix virus containment measures with movement freedom restrictions. In the current situation there is really no essential difference, especially from the view of someone who can't stay home no matter what. From the view of those who will survive this way, it is a priceless measure. Realize something. The more we follow the advice to stay home, the fewer long-term consequences there will be. Maybe those who ignore all the rules and do their own thing are more right. That possibility exists too. But the risk in this case is simply too great. Russian roulette is acceptable for many. If some can have a smoke in the shade and risk it, it's clear that corona is tailor-made for such types. You know, being brave enough for something is one thing. Being stupid enough (unreasonable, immature, ignorant, irresponsible) is quite another.

Mountains are infected. I agree. I got infected thirty years ago, and I'm still sick. And no one considers hikes in the mountains as a contribution to the spread of the virus. Accidents are problematic. GRS won't let anyone die in the mountains. Mountain rescuers are a special class of people, and that is exactly what makes them even more vulnerable in this time. Selflessly helping others, even risking their lives. The same applies to water rescuers and cavers. But now hiking in the mountains, paragliding, climbing, and extreme cycling are purely provoking situations that can contribute to the spread of the virus, endangering rescuers, and additional burdens on medical capacities. In addition, in the mountains, at the slightest suspicion of corona infection, there is no helicopter rescue. In exceptional cases, the injured person is transported on the cable outside the helicopter. This means that rescue operations will be carried out in the classic way. Stretcher and path under feet. With the cargo that brags swaggeringly on these forums and convinces others that the mountains are great, virus up or down. My heart breaks too when I see the mountains. Posting mountain adventures at this time is indirect incitement to endangering public health, and here democracy ends. Admin, DELETE such posts. Here democracy ends, and the right for everyone to say what they think.

Today the situation is the same. But the road is sufficiently wide where it's slippery to park without trouble. Enough snow to ski to the car.

Last Friday I got to Kovinarska and dug out the parking. With an ice axe and avalanche shovel I carved a "garage" for the car and spent two hours on it. Advice: don't go to Krmo without crampons and a good shovel for breaking snow, otherwise you might soak your first cigarette even before stepping on skis.

Happened to me in Vrata. Barrier up and with SUV drove as far as possible. With all gear for climbing welcome shortcut. Less welcome finding some Kljukec unscrewed wheel bolts. Parked most uncultured (if all like that bye peace quiet), blamed myself.
Anyway would ask those expressing anger that way to smash windshield future so know at once, not wheel flies over precipice.
Logarska got new discipline obviously. Till now mastered license plate thefts. Per police guys sometimes register cars on way home to inn.
