Yesterday in Bucharest I struggled to de-ice and defrost my car twice in a single day during a three hour interval. That's how bad it was snowing. Surely enough, with all the snowfall the slopes were bound to be perfect. WRONG!!!
When we got to Predeal we were extatic at the prospect of spending a full day on the slopes. After months of waiting we finally got the chance to start the skiing season ... on 10cm deep snow.
It was dreadful. Stones were abundant, tall grass seemed to grow right out of the snow on large parts of the Sub Teleferic slope. Parts of the Clabucet Sosire slope, which had been exposed to snow canons, were covered by dense fields of ice boulders. To add to the beauty of the day the temperatures were around -8 degrees Celsius. As Tamara put it, there seems to be a lot of good quality snow in Romania blocking the roads and causing mischief, but little of it seems to have settled on the ski slopes.
There were good things about today as well, namely the sunny scenery at the top of the mountain and the fresh powder on the side of the Cocos slope.
I will end by directing your attention towards the enclosed picture of the surface conditions on the Cocosul slope.
