Under the snow
Surface and skis
The ground is a field, stubble or ploughed land, so it needs more snow.
Riders say:
- Elevation 559 m. The airfield is a regularly mowed, stone-free grass strip; surrounding fields are usually stubble-plowed or plowed
Rule of thumb: the smoother the ground, the less snow you need. On a mown meadow riders usually start from about 20 to 30 cm; on stubble, ploughed fields or dwarf pine you need much more.
Bring rock skis
For your first sessions, early in the season and anywhere the snow is thin, use old skis (“rock skis”) or an old snowboard. A stone hidden just under the snow can cut the base of new skis on the very first run.
Tips for this spot
- On hills the wind is stronger and gustier than the forecast says. Behind a forest it breaks and swirls, so launch well away from trees.
- Wind and frost add up: at −5 °C and 20 knots (10 m/s) it feels like about −14 °C. Goggles, a balaclava and spare gloves.
- Frozen snow is hard: a helmet and back protector are worth it even on a flat plateau.

In riders' own words
- „Vhodné směry: SZ,S,SV,J,JV.“
- „Před závorou bývá místo na 2-3 auta, tak aby se dalo okolo projet. Pokud je závora otevřena, tak hned za ní je vpravo asfaltový plácek“
- „příjezdová cesta na letiště je pravidelně odklízena a frézována.“
- „pozor na případná přistávající letadla. Dráha je vymezena 4mi páry oranžových praporků... pozor na tyče vyznačujicí příjezdovou cestu do aeroklubu.“
- „Letiště je soukromým pozemkem... ježdění je povoleno jen při dostatečné pokrývce sněhem... Nemanipulujte s nimi... nezanechávejte po sobě žádný bordel.“
- „Letiště je pravidelně sekaná travnatá plocha, bez kamenů... Okolní pole bývají podmítnuta, nebo zorána. Výška: 559mnm“
