First snow in the Tatra mountains

Looks like an earlier winter for the Tatras with snow falling last night and more expected over the next two days. God I hope it snows at Christmas as I have 15 members of my family from the UK coming to Kościelisko to spend Christmas for 10 days there, and if it doesn't snow I will have my nephews and nieces pizzed off.

You didn't get much snow last year did you? The kids will really love it if it does snow at Christmas.

Daisy: You didn't get much snow last year did you? Hmmmm, depends, as before Christmas there was quite a nice bit for skiing in Zakopane, but as soon as Christmas came the snow started to go :( So to find any really good skiing conditions we went to Strbske Pleso in the High Tatras, Slovakia, where is was fantastic.

Quick update. It is snowing in the mountains south of Krakow. This means lots of snow in the Tatras, might be the last good snow for the season. And I might finally get time to snowboard this weekend (fingers crossed). Daisy: You didn't get much snow last year did you? Yeah we had loads and loads and loads of snow this winter especially in January February , shovelling the driveway trying to find the car. ha ha ha

SeanBM: It is snowing in the mountains south of Krakow. It was snowing in Poznań last night! I went to the pub after going to see a film called Once (great Irish film!)...all was fine and well, then when we left, the snow started...and it kept going...and going...and going. It's mostly melted now, but still, everywhere was white this morning :/

delphiandomine: Once I loved it, great sound track. Is it out in the cinema?. Might go see it again, if it is.

SeanBM: I loved it, great sound track. Is it out in the cinema?. Might go see it again, if it is. It was just on at the local 'art' cinema here. I was dragged along, expecting to hate it...but was utterly shocked at how good it was.

OK, the sun is beaming out of the heavens and my work is done for the day. i am hitting the slopes!!! I love days like today. I can't understand anything on the other threads anyway (nothing new there). Have a good one!.

I am off again to hit the slopes. Really beautiful spring weather but there is still plenty of snow. I don't know how long it will last, the rivers are getting big. Which means the snow is melting, as it has not been raining. So probably just a few days left in the skiing season.

Ok so, it is the last of the skiing, in Bialka anyway. It was plus 6.5, damn that Halny (a special warm wind). And there were more people there today than I had ever seen. It was still good fun but the conditions were not very good.

Oooopsss! loads of snow here. This is the never ending winter. since yesterday, there has been about 20cm of snow and it is still coming. So in Zakopane there'll be more, possibly making this the last fo the skiing/snowboarding season.

Great snowing conditions in the Tatras now. I was skiing today and I am going again tomorrow (35PLN 24Hrs). There is a metre of snow in Zakopane, it is going to last a long time. It was the best conditions for skiing this winter for me today. And I was using the ramps and half pipe thing, well it isn't a half pipe but half a half pipe but not a quarter pipe, it is only on one side and curves around, it is excellent for stopping, you go around almost horizontal, it is the beez kneezz.

SeanBM: Great snowing conditions in the Tatras now. I don't want to see another snowflake this year. Zero. Nada. Nothing. Ani jeden platek sniegu. I had enough. I want the grass green.

I guess, you got your a** kicked in Canada as well! :) Global warming, please show up soon!

Eurola: Global warming The Inconvenient Truth didn't appear so truthful this year. I can only remember last year having so much of the fricken white crap to shovel.

Darn Al Gore, messing with people's minds...but, heck..most people are gullible. You can tell them anything. I'm glad that people in Canada and Chicago screw the 'Inconvenient Truth"..year by year. LOL.

It would have been nice to enjoy the snow for a little bit, but frankly, I'd rather have the beach and sunshine. :-)
