First freshies of the season at Chopok-Juh

POW:
Winter is finally here with low temperatures and new snow showers. Jasna received about 20 cm of fresh snow which is not deep-deep powder but definitely worth going to ski it.
Even though the visibility at the top was "zero" the snow was perfect. You could find the best freshies at the south part of Chopok in Derese along Dereska slope. Of course you could cut down anywhere else but you had to watch for rocks and pine beacause the snow coverage wasn't that deep.
First powder of the 2016 was pretty good and i think everybody who was up there can agree with me. Weather tomorrow is supposed to be sunshine so head up the mountain!

PARK:
Snowpark is located like in previous seasons in Otupne under Grand Jet cable car. Well it's only at the bottom section near the snowpark shapers hut.
Park composes of 3 features. Down T-Box at the top and below it you can find flat-down tanker pipe on the left and flat wide-box on the right. Basically all these obstacles are close to each other so it's also a good idea just to hike along them. Snow on the landings and along the rails was quite soft because it was snowing so even if you mess up the crash shouldn't be so painful :)

POW:
Zima je tu s nízkymi teplotami a prvými snehovými zrážkami. Jasná dostala okolo 20 cm čerstvého snehu a aj keď to nie je úplne hlboký pow-pow určite si to treba ísť zajazdiť.
Napriek nulovej viditeľnosti na vrchu sneh bol super. Najlepší prach si mohol nájsť na juhu v oblasti Derešov, okolo zjazdovky Derešská. Samozrejme mohol si to spustiť dole hocikde ale musel si si dávať pozor na skaly a kosodrevinu kedže snehová pokrývka nebola až taká hlboká.
Prvý prašan v 2016 bol celkom solídny s čím súhlasí asi každý kto tam dnes hore bol. Počasie má byť zajtra slnečné tak sa isto vyber na hory.

PARK:
Park sa nachádza ako minulé sezóny na Otupnom pod kabínkou Grand Jet. Celý park je vlastne ale len v spodnej časti zjazdovky vedľa shapers domčeku.

Park pozostáva z 3 prekážok. Down T-Box na vrchu a pod ním na ľavej strane flat-down tanker pipe a flat wide-box na pravej. Prekážky sú blízko vedľa seba takže sa oplatí si ich aj pošlapať.

Sneh na dopadoch a okolo railov bol mäkký lebo snežilo, takže aj keď si padol nebolo to bolestivé :). V parku sme väčšinou jazdili sami, kde tu sa tam mihol nejaký skier alebo boarder. Ku koncu dňa keď prestalo snežiť tak sa oblaky začali trhať čo može znamena, že zajtra to bude sunny!
