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.

VERY GOOD QUALITY OF SNOW BUT THE DAY WAS FOGY.I BOUGHT NEW SKI BOOTS, NORDICA ENFORCER WHICH ARE GREAT FOR FREERIDE AND OFF PIST SKI.UNFORTUNATELY AT THE RETURN THE STUPIDITY OF SOME PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE SNOW CHAINS FORCED AS TO WAIT ON THE ROAD FOR TOO LONG UNTIL THEY COULD BE MOVED AWAY.
