No more parking at the end of the meadow by the forest. Although the no parking sign at the end of the meadow is illogical, there is a large arranged parking lot 300 meters further towards the cable car to Čeko koča and Ledine.

In Škofja Loka, the forest owner surprised us; he erased all markings and threatened us with 100 euros so we can walk the path we've used for 30 or many more years. Reason! He paid 100 I don't know how much for the excavator to supposedly renovate the path for hay transport and the rest. How is it in Slovenia? It's from Veštra past Gabrovo to Lubnik.

Today I was with touring skis at the hut on Zelenica. Conditions for skiing quite OK, twice a bit scratched under the skis. Need to be a bit careful. Skiing anyway along the access road-path.

Given that strong wind was blowing, according to the web cam the wind blew away all snow. Both Šentanc and Centralna grapa look almost snow-free. What do you think? What are the actual conditions?

Yesterday 29.11. my colleague and I set off for Storžič. Conditions from the Kališče hut towards Storžič are wintery. Up to the ascent there's quite a lot of snow, we've already postholed some. The start is quite annoying, sinking over the knees, also trampled there. To the top there's always less snow. Didn't need crampons or ice axe. Trekking poles are really useful. Good luck to all who will head to Storžič.

Hi! I noticed something on the camera showing the view on Begunjščica. Say, if they changed the tilt one centimeter upwards the top of Begunjščica would probably be visible. Just that much. And best regards.

That's right, you understood correctly.

That's the direction if you know. Over Vešterski bridge (Selško soro) towards village three houses Gabrovo and further right to Lubnik. From junction along ridge to Gabrovo he wiped markings like model.

Me too and the rest of the group, there were eight of us, we stayed overnight at Kriški Podi on 13.8.2011. Terrible crowd, so 35 of us slept in the dining room. No rowdiness, staff was up at 4:30 am, and we cleaned the dining room back to original state together. Whoever lasts from 4:30 am to 11 pm, I think hats off to the staff. Whoever can't drink tap water is too fancy to hike mountains.

Today I went from Suhadolnik farm to Kokrsko sedlo past bivouac below Grintavcem to SKUTO. Weather bad foggy, windy, cold. Path fully dry except two snowfields, which aren't problematic. Met quite some people.

Today I went from Ljubelj past the hut at old Ljubelj to Košutica. Weather foggy all the time but pleasant for hiking. Back to Hanževo sedlo, Planina Korošica and to start Ljubelj.

Who cares for footpaths and markers from Zelenica on towards Vrtača, Stol, Suhim ruševjem? Last Saturday I was on Vrtača and noticed that for a couple of years no one has maintained paths and marks in this end. All overgrown with small pines, marks poor, old. Someone who's there for the first time has a hard time finding the right path. Hope in next years something gets fixed. Nice regards!.

Today on Vrtača. Path completely dry, where snow is nothing special. So just path under feet and to Vrtača.

On this portal Hribi.net they're increasingly bothering with ads. You have to be careful not to accidentally open one. For a goat!

Today I went on a short trip to Czech Hut. Path dry, from Vojte snow starts slowly. Snow packed, path trodden. Today quite a few of us at Czech Hut. Shame hut closed.

Today I went from Mače past the hut at Kališče to Storžič. The path is completely dry except for two snow patches on the ridge, which can be bypassed.

Today I was on Begunjščica, up Šentanski avalanche. Conditions on slope ok snow frozen. Only below summit in sun a bit breakable no panic. Quite some people up top. Back down central gully, soft snow below summit in gully lower hard packed.
