Begunjščica once again!

I have concluded over the years that there is simply never enough of Begunjščica. The ascent starts on Zelenica ski resort and later continues left on the steep slopes of Begunjščica. Once you reach the top, you can practically ski down any mountain gorge (each with different inclination and difficulty) and still end up skiing strait to the car. Begunjščica is 2060m high, which means that the total vertical descent is exactly a 1000 meters. All the skiing terrain is on the north side, which produces plantations of powder, however, the same reason makes it dangerous for avalanches. This time we had a little quarrel with intolerant ski resort workers, who sent us off the ski slopes. A lot of skiers commented this issue on the ski-touring forum. The forum is the best places for current information and reports on the snow conditions in the Slovenian mountains. Anyways.. Begunjščica rewarded us again with beautiful weather, and perfectly compacted powder in Centralna Grapa (Alpinistic skiing, III+, S4). Mare, Leon, Keber and I all agreed that Begunjščica shall fall again.
