Slovenia: Hike & Fly - Potoška gora, Backcountry Skiing - Zelenica

My 2nd paragliding in 2021 also took place on Potoška gora. The start was covered with fog, but that didn't stop us, so we just launched into the fog, took out our GPS devices and flew to the open. Soon the fog layer was above us and we enjoyed the remaining of the flight to Preddvor.

In the afternoon I picked up my nephews and we went backcountry skiing. Our destination, Dom na Zelenici mountain hut. Klara and Matic had their own gear, while I carried Tim's, so Nada and Tim just hiked to the destination. On the steepest part, Klara and Matic had minor difficulties, but overall they advanced like professionals. At the final destination we geared up, took a few photos and the skiing part began. We finished the day with pizza evening in our place.
