Plešivec!

Last weekend the weather forecast was "mediocre," however, Mare and I still decided to go ski-touring, but made more conservative plans. Our optimism was paid-off by sunny weather that surprisingly held-on for the whole day:) We decided to try something new and I quickly proposed Plešivec (1801m), which is the last mountain in the Košuta ridge and is considered an easy "classic." Many skiers visit this mountain (especially in dangerous snow conditions), however, such smaller mountains are not on our "must-ski" list, but are rather on the "should try" list. We quickly harnessed our egos and in less than 90 minutes enjoyed a 360 degree view from the top of the "bald-headed" mountain. Mare decided he wants more and Zor and I were quick to accept his new challenge - attack Košuta (2133m) and climb until it gets too dangerous. I knew this was a very bold plan, because we are all fighters and usually don't quit until reaching the top. However, around 1900m Mare decided it was enough.. and we skied marvelous open terrains of Košuta. On the way down, Mare even found a mobile phone, which he later returned to an un(fortunate) skier (he received a box of beer in return:). We drove back to Ljubljana with Plešivec under our belt, and concerning Košuta - we're coming back to get you!
