Storžič!

The north side of Storžič (2132m) has been on the "must-ski" list for quite some time. I'm talking about a steep and pointy mountain that has been cut-off from the Kamniške Alps by river Kokra and therefore stands completely on its own. It was a cloudless day and we had -20 degrees on the ascent, while the sun warmed-up the air to astonishing -11 at the top. The biggest challenge was to keep warm and the mountain certainly showed its teeth. After about four hours we reached the top and enjoyed a cold and sunny lunch. We skied Peto Žrelo (Alpinistic skiing: III+, S4-), one of the many ravines that run down the northern face of Storžič. It was the first time Artač skied something more serious and he concluded that he simply wants more!
