Update from Stari vrh:

Construction of the valley station is proceeding as planned:


They're building a road tunnel under a ski piste so that the road will be able to be open all year long.. I guess the road used to be covered by snow during winter:


By the way, the old road is a remnant from WW1, when it was build as a service road for the troops, who were fighting up in the mountains..

Again, an update from.. you guessed it, Stari vrh.. I swear, they must be the only ski resort in this country who know what PR means..

Photos from November 27

First off, the "tunnel" on the road to Zapreval:


The heated seats, waiting to be installed:


The entry ramp is ready to be installed as well:


The valley station is progressing nicely:




Cable for the chairlift:


The top station is virtually completed:




That's it.. I wish other ski resorts would document their progress so regularly as well..

There was a report on HRT the other day about Croatian skiing tourists. It is estimated that 200,000 Croats will go on skiing holidays in neighbouring Slovenia, Austria & Italy this winter.

Some new info from Kranjska Gora for the coming year or two:

Quote:
VIZIJA PRIHODNOSTI

Za še prijetnejšo smuko v prihodnosti načrtujemo:

- zamenjava vlečnice Kekec z zmogljivejšo in daljšo štirisedežnico (predvidoma v letu 2007)
- razširitev sistema za zasneževanje v Podkorenu (predvidoma 2007)
- park za deskanje (predvidoma 2007)
- izgradnja, posodobitev in ponovno odprtje smučarske proge z vrha Vitranca
- zamenjava enosedežnice Vitranc II s sodobnejšo napravo
from: http://www.kr-gora.si/87

And to put things into perspective:


There are rumours that a gondola will be built from Kranjska Gora to the top of Vitranc with a smaller hotel and panoramic restaurant at the top as well..

LJUBLJANA - V alpskem delu Slovenije je v minuli noči zapadel prvi sneg, potem ko so meteorologi v začetku novembra zabeležili le nekaj snežink. Sneži nad 1600 metri nadmorske višine, proti jutru se bo meja sneženja spustila na 600 do 800 metrov.


V Nemčiji so dočakali prvi sneg, sneži pa tudi v slovenskih Alpah.

Padavine pa bodo ponehale sredi nedelje, so povedali na uradu za meteorologijo pri Agenciji RS za okolje. Na uradu pričakujejo, da bodo gorenjski mejni prehodi zasneženi, padlo bo od 10 do 20 centimetrov snega. Sicer pa so na regionalni cesti Kranjska Gora-Vršič-Trenta zaradi snega na cesti že obvezne verige. V nasprotju z letošnjo nenavadno toplo jesenjo je bilo lani v drugi polovici novembra v gorskem svetu že 1,5 metra snega.

S precejšnjo zamudo je danes tudi v italijanskih Alpah zapadel prvi sneg. Iz zimskih športnih središč, ki ležijo na več kot tisoč metrih, poročajo o 20 do 50 centimetrih novozapadlega snega. Iz Južne Tirolske o snegu poročajo šele na nadmorski višini okoli 2000 metrov. Še vedno ostaja večina smučišč zaprtih, očitno se organizatorji po toplem obdobju pretekli teden niso pravočasno pripravili na prihod zime.

Sneg pa povzroča preglavice v Španiji, kjer poleg sneženja avtomobilski promet in plovbo ovirajo tudi dež in nevihte. Oblasti so danes skoraj za vso državo razglasile izredne vremenske razmere. Na severu Španije je kar 30 gorskih prelazov prevoznih le s snežnimi verigami, na obali Atlantskega oceana pa je veter dosegel hitrosti do 130 kilometrov na uro, zaradi metrskih valov pa so morala plovila ostati v pristaniščih.

POSTOJNA - Po podatkih Prometno-informacijskega centra so v večjem delu Slovenije ceste mokre. Sneg je višje ležeče prehode prekril, vendar so vsi razen Vršiča in Soriške planine prevozni z zimsko opremo, brez verig. Sneženje ovira promet na Notranjskem, med Postojno in Uncem.


Pa imamo tudi nekaj snega in nevšečnosti z njim.

Priporočajo dodatno previdnost zaradi padavin na vseh cestah. Mejni prehod Pavličevo sedlo je zaradi zasneženega vozišča zaprt. Na drugih mejnih prehodih ni posebnosti.

Ooo, look what I stumbled upon:


Ribnica, Ribniška koča and Kope on the same map!

The two planned chairlifts to connect Ribnica and Ribniška koča are shown, the lifts to connect Kope and Ribniška koča aren't yet - they're still being planned.

3 tiny ski resorts + a couple of nice, long chairlifts = a lovely big ski resort



PS: Doesn't Triglav look majestic in the background?

Če povem po pravici ne vidim smisla za vlaganje v smučišča! Vreme gre tako k vagu. Niža smučišča bodo postala gozd. Ne vem, a se že da smučati na Kaninu?

Joj, daj, spremembe so hitre, ampak ne tako hitre!

Sploh pa, sem optimist (v tem primeru), mislim, da nam bo uspelo premagat globalno segrevanje. Sicer pa, če si pesimist, ni nobena investicija vredna, v nobeni panogi.

I know gozd is good. Considering the amount of forests Slovenia is getting due to reforestation and the abandonment of fields, the gozd that's cut for the slopes is not the end of the world IMO..

Na Kaninu so v soboto 16.12. odprli smučrsko sezono, en teden prej, kot lani, ker so morali lani dokončati investicije.

Krvavec so tudi odprli v četrtek oziroma petek, ne vem točno.. Sej zdej počasi odpirajo vsa smučišča, edino Ivarčko bo odprto po novem letu najverjetneje, saj imajo še za dokončat sedežnico in akumulacijo za zasneževanje.
