Are you sure you know the best ski resorts? Winter is in full swing, but the snow cannons don't shut up because, with a few exceptions, the surrounding ski areas are not exactly covered in snow. But the winter holidays of 2015 are approaching and many people will take advantage of them to visit ski resorts and cut white slopes with curbs. Although we have one of the best ski resorts in the world in our (in)direct vicinity, you probably haven't even heard of some of the best. But only until today. You're welcome.

Tina Maze heads to the World Alpine Skiing Championships in Vail and Beever Creek as the defending super giant slalom champion and the leading skier in the World Cup, with an incredible 11,198 points to her credit to date. And since we know that sport consists of victories and defeats and that no victory is given, let alone taken for granted, the achievements of Tina Maze, who would have had a hard time choosing tougher competitors in her career, are all the greater. Therefore, let's once again relive all her victories and at the same time wish for new ones. Already at the SP in Vail and Beaver Creek 2015.
This year's winter is perfect for snowkiting or kitesurfing in the snow, as the abundant snowfalls are wind in his sails. Or better, wind in a kite (kite). Kiting on snow is very similar to kiting on water or land, except that instead of a waterboard or skateboards, we use snowboards or skis. And it's okay if this is news to you. There are also courses available for this, which will ensure that you quickly master this interesting sport discipline.
Tina Maze also writes a Slovenian skiing fairy tale at the 2015 Alpine Skiing World Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, which, with exceptional success, quickly got "translations" into many foreign languages (read the media). It was clear that the exceptionalism of Tina Maze, which she is showing again these days beyond the puddle, was not only widely reported by the domestic media, because such impressive successes cannot go unnoticed, even if we are talking about America, which alpine skiing not overly interested.
Slovenia has many winter sports holidays. The Golden Fox, the Vitranc Cup and summers in Planica. Pokljuka has practically already caught the connection, and Rogla and Ljubno are getting closer as well. This time we will hurry to the Podkoren ski resort in Kranjska Gora, where the caravan of the best male skiers in the world will gather for the 54th time, competing here for the Vitranc Cup since 1961. This year, the 14th or. On March 15, 2015, what else awaits us in addition to cheering, in more detail in the Vitranc Cup program.
This year, the legendary Luža on Krvavec will be held for the entire Easter weekend (April 4 and 5) and will delight everyone who doesn't really want to say goodbye to the joys of snow yet. The jubilee program of the top sports event, which is the most extensive to date, invites you to an active weekend full of fun, adrenaline, snow and many surprises.
The first weekend of April at Krvavac will be spent in the spirit of the best fun at the end of the ski season, which will be even more unforgettable than usual on the anniversary. Tradicionalna Luža - a unique event in which adrenaline-seeking skiers and surfers perform acrobatic tricks and spectacular jumps on a "puddle" in the middle of the ski resort - will take place this year for the tenth year in a row on the beach in Krávaška, and with a rich program, everyone who doesn't want to get really excited say goodbye to winter joys.
The winter equivalent of the inconvenience called road congestion when we drive to the sea is a line in front of a chairlift or cable car on a ski slope. But the future promises us smart ski resorts that will improve the user experience of skiers and enable us to meander for a longer time and wait in line less time. At least that's according to a project launched at Vail Ski Resort, which has a dedicated EpicMix mobile app (soon to be available for Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone) that provides real-time information on the condition of the ski lifts.
Are you already preparing for the season of winter sports and swinging shovels over a blanket of snow in the yard? Good physical fitness before hitting the snow with skis or a board is of course important, but also consider mobile applications that can further improve and optimize your sports adventures on the snow.
Have you ever searched in the snow for an unfastened ski in vain, or was your sports equipment stolen from right under your nose? With the small but durable bluetooth device NeverLose, you can protect your skis, snowboard, bike or other sports equipment from thieves or quickly find it under a pile of snow. How? A tracking device connected to a smartphone emits warning sounds.
Rossignol and the PIQ company have prepared a special PIQ pocket sensor for all technology-conscious skiers, which puts skiers on par with sports such as running and cycling, where every movement or turn of the athlete is subjected to analysis and statistics. The sensor measures the movement of the skier and records every detail of the ride (measured on 13 axes), which can later be analyzed with a mobile application and, based on the information, improve skiing technique.
Those who have already visited the ski resorts in the Alps this year wonder who stole the winter. After 2000, almost all Christmases in Slovenia were green, and 2015 (unfortunately) was no different. A white Christmas has clearly become more than just a thing of the imagination of the past, rather than a reality. But, as said, it is even worse. Alpine ski resorts are also showing a poor image, and some popular destinations are already starting to suffer chronically from a lack of snow. Photos from the field show the price they are paying for the unusually warm weather this year.
