Last day of skiing I risked to take a camera

I was afraid to take a camera with me to the mountain. By fifth day I felt enough courage and it was the right day, because we had a chance to get to the top of second highest mountain in Slovakia. It was so cool!


Lomnicki Stit is in the background


Forest was nearly destroyed over the large area by hurricane last November


In this cab we got to the top of the mountain, 2632 m


Never looked OVER the mountains before. Cool!

We based in Poprad

Poprad is a small Slovakian city. We lived in a hotel and bus transfered us to different ski resorts every morning.


Mountains dominate over the city.

Going to Slovakia by bus

We went to Slovakia by bus. 45 persons, interested in going downhill. Most of them were not beginners, as we (me, my colleague Yura and Vikki) were.

Mountains, at last (some 30 km from Zakopane, Poland)

Some pleasant tourism

I haven't blog in English for quite a long time already. C'est la vie. But I do actively blog in Russian, so welcome there ;)

Anyway, let me keep you updated that I have visited Slovakia this March. If you suddenly do not know, this is a small country in Eastern Europe. It has a lot of nice differences with Estonia - for example, they have mountains there, as well as pretty large caves, relatively few tourists and relatively low prices.

I will crosspost some photos from Russian blog here as well, stay tuned!
