Under the snow
Surface and skis
Riders have not described the ground under the snow. Early in the season and after a thaw, expect things to stick out.
Riders say:
- More snow remains on the sheltered parts of the hill - snow is good when the wind shifts after a front passes (e.g. NW front followed by SE wind)
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
- „Vítr: ideal s J složkou, tedy JZ-J-JV“
- „Menší spot s kopečkem uprostřed... Většina plochy je však dostupná i bez potřeby překonávání ohradníku.“
- „Parkování: Po průjezdu vesnicí je parkování přímo u spotu, vedle restaurace.“
- „Dneska Pohledec bez snehu, na Studnici led.“
- „Zima 16/17 nejsou odstraněny ohradníky, někde jsou však rozpojené a průjezdné... V zimě je tam běžkařská dráha a dost běžkařů.“
- „V zimě je tam běžkařská dráha a dost běžkařů.“
- „Ja jsem byl dneska na studnici a bylo to uz celkem fajn. Zitra zkusim asi frysavu.“
- „Menší spot s kopečkem uprostřed a tedy ze všech stran mírně do kopce... Výška okolo 800mnm... Vítr bývá silnější“
- „Po průjezdu vesnicí je parkování přímo u spotu, vedle restaurace.“
- „více sněhu je na nevyfoukaných částech kopce - dobrý sníh je tedy při otočení větru po předcházejicí frontě. Např fronta z SZ a potom otočení větru na JV.“
