Skiing and hiking adventure with Alli from the cabin. A lot of climbing on foot at first, up above the treeline, then some skiing in the beautiful snow fields just south of the Polish border. Then a tricky descent down to a mountain hut serving borscht and tea, and then some more skiing, mostly down, back to the cabin. A beautiful day out!

Really nice long ski in the Krknose mountains from the cabin with Bara and Martin. Skiing in the Czech mountains is different from Sweden - the climbs and descents are longer, steeper and, in some ways, more fun. The snow wasn't great where we started, but got better and better as we climbed and was really good for the furthest portion of the ski.
The evening involved Alli and me - the rookies in the cabin - getting tossed in the well outside the cabin in an initiation rite.
