Hi!

I'm wondering if anyone knows where in the mountain world there are midnight masses on Christmas - polnočnica as we call it at home

Now the conditions are really proper winter ones; the Christmas spirit would come out even more...

I know there's a mass at the chapel on Velika Planina. Do you know any other location?

Thanks!

Regards

Hi!

Could someone please help me choose an ice axe? I'm deciding between three models but don't know which one to pick.
1. Wizard Plus Ice Axe: http://www.kibuba.com/katalog/product_info.php?cPath=29_36&products_id=73
2. Alpintour Ice Axe: http://www.kibuba.com/katalog/product_info.php?cPath=29_36&products_id=1943
3. BLACK DIAMOND - Raven with grip Ice Axe: http://www.iglusport.si/katalog/cepini/cepini.html

I need the ice axe for winter hiking in the mountains; ice climbing doesn't interest me for now. I'm interested if anyone has experience with any of them and which one you recommend.

I'm also interested in buying a helmet for my wife - again deciding between two variants; I'd appreciate some useful advice:
1. CASSIN – Stunt Helmet: http://www.iglusport.si/katalog/celade/celade.html
2. Petzl – ELIOS Helmet: http://www.iglusport.si/katalog/celade/celade.html

Thanks!

Best, Luka

Today I went to the top of Storžič through Žrelo. No snowfields left anywhere, so the path is nicely passable without ice axe.

Has anyone been hiking to Czech Hut recently and towards the hut on Ledine, what are the conditions? Thanks for answers!

Thanks... On Sunday I'll take friends along this nice path.

SilvesterO- is the path over Rigelj passable due to fallen trees? Thanks for the answer!

Thanks....

Has anyone been to Sleme recently?

What are the conditions like? Is there still a lot of snow?

Yesterday I repeated the tour described above - fog accompanied me all the time, I caught only a couple of sun rays. The path is otherwise really passable only with snowshoes, but it's quite nice. Met a herd of 8 fat chamois, who played goodbye to me by releasing snow above me.

Does anyone happen to know what the conditions are like on the path over Komarče to the hut at Triglav Lakes?

Thanks!

I'm interested if anyone knows what the conditions at Kamnik Saddle are like? Is there high avalanche danger or can one go up?

Thanks!

Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the path from Kamniška Bela to Presedljaj and on to Konj and then return to Planina Dol is like?

How much snow - is it trodden, how demanding is the path in winter?

Thanks!

Lp, Luka
