Alpinet in the wind !

Weekendul trecut am fost la Barcaciu, am ajuns acolo pentru a doua oara ...dupa foarte, foarte multi ani. Ocazia: aniversarea a trei membrii alpinet: Geta, Emi si Tibi. Desi era planificata o iesire in creasta si un free ride de acolo prin vaile si valcelele din jur, vantul ne-a stricat toate planurile, tinandu-ne prizonieri in cabana.

Vineri noaptea urcarea a fost superba sub luna plina si prin zapada proaspata (de altfel am profitat de ocazie pentru a face o mica coborare sub luna plina, a doua din sezonul asta... dreaming...):



Sibiul vazut din pragul cabanei:



Si un culoar pe care sper sa ma dau o data cu placa:



O mica parte din familia de 6 ghemotaoace albe care pazeste cabana:



Samabata tentativa de urcare a esuat dupa doar o ora, vantul ne-a luat la propriu prin aer si ne-a trimis inapoi....



Idem:



Dar moralul a ramas foarte bun: ROATA BRE !



Asa ca sambata am continuat cu un jump session in snowparkul din jurul cabanei :D



Si Tibi prima oara pe placa, are un viitor mare in fatza:



Deja sarea la kicker !



Un alt fel de free ride printre copaci: Bing Bang !



De data asta zapezile au fost mangaiate doar de vant...



Time to go home...



Nu pot sa inchei fara multumiri speciale pentru Dora care a carat si confectionat ad-hoc tortul, numai bun sa te lingi pe degete, si la propriu si la figurat ;)

Exista viata si dupa Yahoo !

In ultimele 10 zile am decis sa fac o greva prin a nu ma loga absolut de loc pe ymessenger.
Ideea era de a demonstra ca se poate trai si fara a comunica din 5 in 5 minute cu prietenii, fara a citi diverse statusuri si a accesa diverse linkuri. Prin aceasta eu am castigat focus si timp pentru a rezolva diverse probleme cat se poate de reale.
Pentru moment nu am de gand sa renuntz la a folosi yahoo, este de altfel foarte util si la munca si pentru comunicarea rapida si gratuita cu prietenii si colegii, ci doar de a ma limita in a-l folosi atat cat este necesar.
Experimentul mi s-a parut cat se poate de reusit, va invit sa incercatzi si voi ;) si sunt sigur ca veti aprecia noua situatzie :D

Azuga, fresh snow !

Because of the strong wind, the cable-cars from Sinaia and Poiana Brasov didn't run. Thus all the keen riders have gather together in Azuga, a great choice due to the ongoing snowfalls ;)



Azuga is known as "friendly" with the boarders, so we've ride in the forest !
Da' cu copacul ce ai avut, bah ?! :D


Jamais deux sans trois !

Finally the 3rd time I've succeeded ?! to bring my board and to ride down from Poiana Brasov to Predeal, on the exact route as in the post below. In the upper part of the valley it was a magnificent powder but at the middle of the descent I've hit some well hidden rocks, seriously damaging my Supermodel board :((
It was obviously less snow than a month ago, but still quite a lot on our way up to "Trei Brazi" chalet.

Poiana Bv. - Poiana 3 fetitze - V Cheii - Poiana Secuilor - Predeal

One months ago... Very nice afternoon, big and fluffy snow, great company ;)
A well hidden spot, off-beaten tracks except by the big brown bears ! Scarry ! brrrr...











just the snowboard was missing, a very good reason to be back down there...

Big bang ! printre copaci !

One months ago, I was riding in Poiana Brasov when I've come across this free style contest, with the best riders around, and even with some plastic ones :D

Expo: Himalaya, peaks and people !

From 12 February till the end of this summer, the cafeteria of my company is hosting the photo exhibition about Nepal with the title: "Himalaya, varfuri si oameni". The 14 photos are below, most of them were already on my blog. This is my third exhibition, in the same place, after "the colors of autumn" and "traveling on the treads of white waters: canyoning in Corsica".
