Snowboarding in Poland

No, but I was at Spindleruv Mlyn in September - unfortunatly did no make it to the Polish side of the Krkonose (though I did walk along the border when hiking up Snezka!) There were a lot of ski runs and mountain cafes in the area. It looked good. The locals told me it is quite expensive though as it is very popular with Germans.

The less Germans the better :)

I was on the PL side last year in the Czarna Gora but I'm hearing that the Czech side is better. I'm sure it's way more expensive too. LOL I need to find snow though :) I hear they usually get more there. Thanks for the info.

Hi Miranda, Glad to hear you got your holiday sorted :)

Thank you, I am very happy, so is my family:)

And have a nice a safe trip. Don't get lost or stranded somewhere. Hope you make all your connections I know how that goes. You miss one and that's when all the fun starts. hahahaha. I've been through that.

Good luck!

Thanx Krysia, I am hoping to get there on time:), no more window shopping at airports for me though:(

I have 4 hrs of that in Frankfurt..but there are SO many stores in that airport.

Fisz,
Do you know any good websites for checking snow reports? I usually use skiclub.co.uk but they dont have any reports for Poland or the Czech Rep.

Yes:
snow-forecast.com

I did not know you were a snowboarder Miranda

Haha I think she was just bringing my topic back to life :)

The next time I go back, is when I know I won't be returning alone....

Perhaps you should invite her to join you on the slopes and check out her tricks :)

Any luck with the snow report site? I think you can find anywhere on there.

That's right!. You will both in Poland at the same time. You should meet on the slopes.
(That would go over well with fisz's gf.)

Yes, i found the site but no report yet for Zakopane - probably means there is no snow :)

yeah...none. But, they are supposed to get 2cm this week :)

Thats a very good site you recommended Fisz, been reading the reports and it sounds like Austria & Switzerland have recently got snow - so perhaps its heading your way. Off to bed now. Bye

Fisz,
One of my friends at work told me of another usefull site

snoweye.com

Very cool site...thanks. I'm hoping it'll dump in so PL within the next 2 weeks. LOL the resort i'm going to..Janskie Laznie has only 30cm.

How is zakopane this year? I am going to wroclaw in feb, and want to hit kasprowy, &c.

Unfortunately it was unseasonable in PL this january and was unable to snowboard at all :(
Zakopane has barely any snow and the queue to get to the summit takes 1.5 hrs. It will be just as crowded in Feb.

hey Fisz i was there for new years, there was not much snow about was there, it all had melted by the 2nd Jan. We had a good time though.

What can know sm who interests only snowboarding? :)

:)

Snowboarding is easy. I gave it up and went back to skiing after an injury.

i wish i culd learn how to snowbored... uhhh

Its a lot harder than skiing

yea thats what i thought

Sorry, the evidence just doesn't agree. I learnt how to snowboard with linked turns within 4 hours. Skiing took a week at least and many more weeks since to try and get a reasonable standard.

Last month we took a complete novice to the Three Valleys and he had one lesson. In a few days he was a reasonable compentant boarder

>>>i wish i cuold learn how to snowbored... uhhh

Hire a board book some lessons. Get some padded trousers (for your arse/bum) and wrist guards.

>>>yea thats what i thought
Thats because after 12years, you can Ski. With boarding you will have to make an effort (and get a bit wet, tired and painful)

yea i just might.. hehehe.. wel i might learn next year heheheh

It's really painful to learn by yourself, but tons of fun once you get the hang of it. It's good to learn both also. Some powder days can be awesome on a board.
