Slovenia: Backcountry Skiing - Begunjščica

Gašper, Rok, Tadej and me decided to have a perfect day, so we started in the morning with our hike to Begunjščica. Tadej quit quite soon, as he slipped on icy surface, so only three musketeers remained. On our way to the top the remaining group changed the ascend plans a couple of times and in the end we chose the Y ravine to the summit. Guys were without skis, so I was a little slow on my way up, but it was much easier and especially I had more fun on the way down. Good morning!

Start in the dark, a little past 5 a.m.

We had to use ice axes and crampons

We woke up the sun too
