Since we saw tons of great TRs during the season so far I guess it's my turn to contribute with some stoke from a region off most people's radar.
Except for some early season turns economic crisis has pretty much kept me away from the Alps. Luckily, in order to stay sane I combined work related trips to Slovakia with some prime skiing among the local peeps I became close friends with. Therefore I crosspost some shots from the link in my signature to represent the awesome bunch of folks down there as well as the photog Vlado's excellent work (much better than my own more or less crappy shots). He's got a thing with capturing the right moments and his cohorts are slutting it up in front of his camera.
Great community to hang out with, they show how well beer, Willies, homemade Schnaps, some weed 'n stuff goes along with skiing.
Enjoy!
PART 1
The terrain
The winter down there did not start up as fiercly as in the Alps so conditions were mediocre till January. But, what the fuck....
The photog does well in front of the lense too
But there was always enough to play with....
And then, finally, the dumps got bigger ......
...and bigger.....
The air patrol came out too...

this may be top ten of the year TRs
I might have to visit slovaki next year.
Holy shit that as good.Do I detect a lot of anger flowing around this place? Kind of like a pubescent volatility, some angst, a lot of I'm-sixteen-and-angry-at-my-father syndrome?
fuck that noise.
gmen.
