Forecast and webcams

Before you go

Forecasts often disagree. When Windguru, ALADIN and Windy agree, it is worth going.

Under the snow

Surface and skis

Riders describe a grassy base, so less snow is enough.

Riders say:

Elevation 671 m. Meadow gently sloping to the west, ski slope without artificial snowmaking 50 m from the spot

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.

Riders' tips

Thanks to its elevation above the surrounding terrain, it sometimes gets wind even with a poor forecast and light readings on nearby weather stations. Ideal for freestylecommunity map

In riders' own words

„Jezditelné směry: J- SZ ... Vyzkoušené na JZ až SZ vítr.“
„Žádné dlouhé pojezdy,ale na freestyle ideální.“
„Parkování přímo u spotu.“
„OpenStreetMap way/28310498“
„POZOR! Z jižní a východní strany ohraničeno el.vedením!“
„Nadmořská výška: 671m ... Louka mírně svažitá k západu.“
„párkrát povedl supr pojezd i na mizernou předpověď a slabý vítr z on-line měřáků v okolí. Žádné dlouhé pojezdy,ale na freestyle ideální.“

Wind by month

When it blows

Average wind speed 10 m above ground from NASA POWER (MERRA-2, 2001–2025). The model works on a grid of roughly 50 km; on hills and by the water the wind is often stronger and gustier.
