KAIMAKTSALAN SKI RESORT 26/01/09

THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I WENT TO KAIMAKTSALAN SKI RESORT.THE DAY WAS PERFECT WITH SUNSHINE BUT THE RESORT WAS CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE STRONG WIND.IT WAS A CHANCE TO TRY MY NEW SKI SKINS.I FOUND THEM IN A STORE AFTER A YEAR OF SEARCHING.SO WITH THE SKINS I MANAGED TO CLIMB FROM THE RESORTS PARKING TO THE TOP WHERE THERE IS A LITTLE CHURCH.THE SKINS ARE GREAT FOR MOUNTAINEERING SKI.YOU CAN GO WHERE EVER YOU LIKE.SO NEXT TIME MAYBE I'LL GO FOR SKI AWAY FROM RESORTS.

KAIMAKTSALAN SKI RESORT 21/01/09

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO KAIMAKTSALAN SKI RESORT FOR THE SEASON. I PREFER 3-5 PIGADIA RESORT, BUT TODAY THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE RAINING, SO I HEADED FOR MOUNTAIN VORAS. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I COULDN'T SEE A THING. THERE WAS SO FOG THAT I ALMOST LOST THE CAR. SO I DIDN'T SKI AND RETURNED BACK HOME.IT WAS A PITY BUT I TOOK THE CHANCE TO SHOOT SOME PICTURES SO HERE THEY ARE. HOPE NEXT TIME THE WEATHER WILL BE BETTER.
