To avoid awful time before Christmas, advertisment, shopping, full city and
other related things we don't like, we fled to spend four days in snowy
mountains of Jeseniky. Skiing, running, making snowman, walking winter
landscape.

Quick weekend before Christmas on empty ski slopes in Austria. Stuhleck is
about three hours drive from Brno, so we decided to escape pre-Christmas craziness.
Wonderful skiing was good reward.

In order to avoid christmas shopping hell and widespread tendency to spend the
nice time of the year with cleaning the house, we left for mountains, despite
apparent lack of snow there. First day was without snow - we went to a trip to
nearby woods. In the evening, it started snowing, so the following day we could
build a snowman, have many snowball fights and bobsleigh fun with kids. Last
day all snow melted and it was nice sunny when we were leaving.

We typically use similar recipe for preparation of Christmas - to leave to
some distant place in the mountains and do skiing and other winter joy. It is
pretty easy to avoid preparation stress, also there is very little people
in the mountains during that time. This year the weather did not promise anything
good, but we still went and did not regret at all.

First (and last so far) snow we got in Brno. It lasted only one day, but I was
quick enough to make nice trip with our dog. This article is also introduction
of Masha. We took her from dog shelter two years ago, and since then she became
regular family member with more rights than we have.

One week that we spent in czech mountains. It came as surprise offer from
our friends who had booked accomodation, but the other couple cancelled
shortly before the trip. We accepted and never regret. It was rather easy
to take care about three small kids and at the same time get some nice
downhill skiing. We were also lucky for the weather. Alltogether wonderful
time.

Rather short afternoon trip on cross-country ski. Sumbera is wood-road winding
over valley that leads from Brno to Bilovice. Down below runs trains, above
rise a calcite quarry. It had still enough snow to keep us going.

Four days spent on Highlands with Dan, our year-and-half old son. I made good

Mesto and made tons of sculptures out of the snow.

One day skiing in close Austria mountains. We chose probably best
resort called Hochkar, placed near village Goestling an der Ybbs.
It is a valley hemmed in high mountains, from which ski slopes go down.
Features many types and difficulties, for those who wants something special
there are also not maintained areas of deep snow.

You can try even models that you could otherwise not afford.

At the time it seems to be last chance to catch with some snow. Austrian
mountains in northern part are a bit higher, so our odds weren't that bad.
It turned out to be very nice, although except for slopes there was no snow cover.

Cross country ski trip to the Jeseniky mountains. One attraction on the way
there was waterfalls above the Nyznerov village. They are kinda small, but nice
stop on our way. We haven't seen much snow for the ski until we reached the
ridge, where for exchange the weather went a bit wild.

Upon this winter there is the last chance to go skiing. The nearest location of
remaining snow is in Jeseniky, probably just on the ridge. We traversed whole
lenght of Hruby Jesenik, in whole about thirty kilometers. Show covered it all,
so it went well. In contrast there are some photos from the descent, they are
much more springy.

Highlands region, where heavy machinery is making ski highways every morning.

This is very light approach to try free-riding: take cross-country ski on sunny
winter day, when everything is frozen and fast. Then just slide through the
forest, fun guaranteed.

With our family dog, nice day on cross county ski. There is great winter in
Brno, surely the best of last few years. Plenty of snow as far as two
kilometers from centre, so you can take ski and after 20 minutes run in woods.

New Year we are going to spend by dolce far niente. For a clear conscience we
went out to country, in this time naturally with cross-country ski. Pretty bad
weather, freezing, windy, no-one with brain in head would go out. As expected,
we met nobody, probably everyone spend this time by fire ...

time from time, around one day each year, I am pretty dangerous one on ski

In the distance of sixty kilometers western of Brno there is some hills,
altogether called Highlands (Vysocina). Because of direct lines of train and
regular considerable amount of snow it stands for ideal place for cross-country
skiing. Centre of area is New Town (Nove mesto), where we found accomodation.
As many people from Brno has similar opinion about suitability of place,
typical routes around New Town was crowded. We have no other choice than create
our own hill-to-hill path. It is beautiful to go as first in deep snow ...

more expensive, though you don' need to wait for skilift and there is much
