I was today. No snow on the path.

Yesterday, 1.1.2014 somewhere on path from ridge of Ljubeljska Baba to last left bend under Ljubelj tunnel (so-called hunter's path) lost red hiking ice axe. On handle initials of my name. Finder gift waiting under my fir Call 031 810 282.

That right mountain is Kalški greben, Kalška gora is hidden behind it.

Yeti?!

On the path from Srednji vrh through Železnica to Trupej's Noon snow is just a trace (up to 10 cm), so winter gear unnecessary. Sun has fully cleared snow from summit, so you can lie on goat droppings and sunbathe Track is wide and path easy to follow.

In Habjan's book Winter ascents in Slovenian mountains I checked the trip past bivouac IV to Križ and Stenar, and surprisingly it's nowhere mentioned that there are huge crevasses above the bivouac. Is it a slip-up or is there some smart reason they're not mentioned? If it's like that for other trips too, then it's really worth sticking to the rule that in winter you only go where you've been in summer. In this case though even though I know the path it doesn't attract me at all to break trail there in snow. Hats off to whoever breaks trail there..
