Karpacz buying snow

A week ago a group of guys including myself went snow hiking in the Karkonosze mountains, known as the Giant Mountains. It was really a good bye trip for Michal, a. Cowboy, who will be leaving Poland soon with a hope for a better life in England. On a side note, it does seem that while I came back to Poland everyone around me wants to get the hell out. It felt good no to have to drive but at the same time the 2 hour trip took almost 4 hours to get to our destination. From the bus stop it was a straight hike towards the national park entry gate where we had to purchase our national park passes. These entry passes are a joke. First of all, your pass is only good till midnight that calendar day, so if you wanted to do an overnight hike and get in and out within 24 hours you have to buy a two day pass. We were entering the park at 5pm… so our first day pass would only be good for 7 hours! With our packs packed for at least 4 days we convinced the lady at the window to only sell us a one day pass. Because no one ever checks them anyway! I understand the need to support the park and the infrastructure around it, but as I type this the system is a fucken joke. End of rant. But it sure beat sleeping in a tent out in the snow. The weather on Saturday morning was just beautiful. The majestic view of snow capped mountains and the sun hitting it just right made for an amazing photo opportunity. Wind was blowing fairly strong as we took off to continue our journey to the mountain top. The thick snow layer was mostly frozen so it made for a good walking surface but we still occasionally fell knee deep into air pockets beneath making each step pretty interesting. We had a big room all to ourselves and we soon found out why. We ended up being almost alone at the hostel that evening since no one was really stupid enough to hike up that evening. To be on the safe side and not to get lost, we decided to walk down along a non-operational ski lift that during the season fairies people up the mountain sans any hiking experience or gear. It was a challenge getting down while not following any particular trail but simply booking it down in a straight line. We on the other hand kept sliding on our asses on the frozen mountain slope sometimes getting quite a distance before being able to stop and pick ourselves up again. Finally making it down to the bottom it felt as if we had walked into a different dimension entirely. The weather was nice, people were skiing around us, beer was flowing, kids were laughing… nothing like the whiteout we experienced on top. It was a good trip and I wanted to thank Michal for making it happen. Good luck to you on your future endeavors. Snow Mountaineering. Like Loading….
