VASILITSA SKI RESORT - 27.12.2008
finally the snow came...
the resort open before 10 days, with little snow, almost 30 cm.
I didnt manage to go, because of a light injury in my quad-muscles, from running, but this weekend...
a snowstorm came in N.Greece, and 60 cm of fresh snow added on the slopes.
Unfortunately, because of the great expectation to go for boarding, i choose the wrong day...
27.12.2008 it was not the best day in Greece for skiing or boarding.
The roads were full of snow. I made 4 hours driving, instead of 2h.
In the resort the weather was not so good...However i like bad weather while boarding, so thats not the problem...
The weather was lovely for me...(only for me)....great snowstorms, all the day snowing, and strong winds....temp almost -8 on the mountain...
Snow: from 40 cm on the base of the resort, and almost 90 cm on the top...maybe less or more, depending on the srtong air...
The +
- too much fresh snow...powder, powder and powder
- few people because of bad weather...no queues...
- alone on the slopes...
the -
- the state didnt clean even the big autobahn from Thessaloniki to Grevena...i drive with snowchains for over 120 km with max speed of 40 km /h
- the ski tow i use for the slopes i like, frozed and it stopped many times, and at 15.45 the closed it 
- during the way back to home, i left the resort at 16.30...at 17.40 a stupid local driver, without snow-tyres, no snow-chains but 4X4 thought that with his mini-truck could drive as Sebastian Loeb on the snow...so in a u-turn his track slipped on the snow, and he hit my left door of my car....i have to wait over 2 hours for traffic police, then go to Police station of the local town, and then back home....so i left at 16.30 and finally went home at 00.00 ...furthermore because of the hit, my window didnt close, it stucked...so i drive 240 km, during snowstorm, with -4 outside with an open window and the next days... 
of
and that only because we have new snow on the mountains....
PHOTOS ARE COMING NEXT

Hello
Great pictures from Greece. You also have a lot of snow down there. Not only the south alps.
Best wishes Andreas
