Kopaonik is the premier ski resort in Serbia. And I got the premier weather arriving there, in heavy snowfall.
I had fun cruising the powdery closed runs and thick forests.
My only regret is not visiting Kosovo on the same trip...
There was also an abandoned ski lodge at the top of the mountain:
To get to Kopaonik, one has to drive. It was fun watching the various cars in the heavy snowfall. My car was a brand new Mercedes (even if I had reserved the smallest possible car, thanks, Sixt!) but its sensors kept going crazy. It was not too difficult to see why, the outside of the car was cover in literally an inch of ice.
Here's a fun mini:
And of course, car adventures are not complete without having to observe the antics of Tesla drivers. How's this for parking style?
But I really loved the trees:
I also checked the Goulash index, by checking the price of soup at the ski area. 300 local or about 2.9€. Cheap! The soup was also good.

Chasing Fastest Known Times is a pretty weird part of our mountain sports world. Many would argue that the style required for setting FKTs in the mountains takes away the fun and turns the sport into nothing more than chasing a number, but you can’t deny that many of these feats are really f***ing impressive. Take, for example, Jack Kuenzle’s recent FKT of Oregon’s Mount Hood. On April 24, Kuenzle, a former Yale club hockey player and Navy SEAL, smashed both the summit time and the roundtrip

This season has been a big one for Christina Lustenberger in the first ski descent department. After a stellar winter and early spring hunting big lines in British Columbia, she set her sights on an expedition to Baffin Island, where she joined Brette Harrington, Hilaree Nelson, Emily Harrington, Drew Smith, Jordan Manoukian and Mathis Dumas. Camping on a frozen fjord, the crew ticked of a series of ambitious ski objectives, including a repeat of the classic Polar Star Couloir and a first

Up until a few weeks ago, Chamonix, France had been having what locals were calling the worst winter in 20 years. Luckily, April and May delivered a series of healthy spring storms that brought a few meters of that sticky icky to plaster the area’s icy north faces. With lines finally filling in enough to plausibly ski them, locals like Tof Henry got to get their freeride wiggles out. It’s hard to explain truly how gnarly a descent like skiing the North Face of the Aiguille du Midi is –
