Sunday I finally opened up the snowboarding season with a short trip to Valea Dorului on the Bucegi Plateau above Sinaia. Strangely enough it was the only place around here where there was any snow, and there was plenty of it to ensure great skiing and snowboarding conditions.
I have to thank Ionut for joining me, tutoring me and working his magic to cut down our otherwise significant transport costs.
We boarded all the options in Valea Dorului at least once and even enjoyed a bit of powder on one of the untouched routes. The plateau was full of people and, perhaps it was just my impression but, it seemed there were more people snowboarding than there were skiing. The food at the challet was more expensive than ever. The weather was good considering where we were, though I must remember to never leave home without my ski mask again.
All things considered... good stuff! Must do it again!
