In search of Slovenian pow......



Back in February it was already starting to look like spring time. I'd been back in europe for about 3 or 4 weeks and only riding powder three times back in January when I first arrived. There was no real signs of it getting any better either.

We had always planned to head down to Slovenia for a while, but soon as we heard about this resort called Kanin with a 3 metre bass and had just receive word that had dumped a 1 metre of snow there. So we packed a car with all our gear and made our way to Bovec, Slovenia.
Early morning packing. The day we left it decided snow here........
Just before going though the tunnel to Ost Tirol, our car over heated.
After getting lost in Italy for a bit. We'd finally crossed the boarder to Slovenia!
We rolled into town and needed to find accommodation straight away. The Information centre put us on it this amazing apartment for 15 euros each per night. Slovenia was already looking to be a great decision!
That night we spent about an hour making sure that everyone new how to use the peeps....
Small lift lines in Slovenia waiting for a egg gondi. Plus 28 euros for a days pass!
On our way up the mountain we had notice there some wind. Once we'd reached to top everything had changed. All the powder that we'd dreamed about had been taken away with this crazy winds. At the very top it was minus 22 and the wind was unbearable. Once we dropped into the Italian side of the resort the winds and freezing whether all disappeared.
We enjoyed lunch in little restaurant.
After our first fun day of riding we spent the afternoon with some beers on our balcony. While planning our next move.
Next day we decided to head to Ljubljana but on the way we stop in at Kranjska Gora to ride the park. The park wasn't good at all, but we had spent hours riding the resort. It was full of fun little hits all over the place. After another fun day riding we made our way the capital.
Slovenia version on Luna Park!
First time in Ljubljana beautiful city! Full of rad graffic, amazing old street and amazing night life...
We got put onto this DnB night by our mates kennies that was going on in Ljubjana and had pre drinks in the highest building in city in Slovenia 13 story to enjoy some long Island teas!
Steemy's chicken was back in Kitzbuhel so he had to make love to this one!
After a good night, we had to check out of the hotel and make the 4 hour drive back to Austria...........
Halfway home Steemy realized he left his binding back in the hotel.


All in all we had a lot fun. Even though we didn't get the snow we'd hoped too!

Thanks Slovenia.......
