Last night Maja and myself have decided to go snowboarding to Jesenik mountains. We drove to Olomouc early this morning to board the Ski Bus going directly to Karlov, the ski resort in the Jesenik mountains. Ski Centre Karlov is one of the biggest and busiest ski centres in the Jesenik mountains. Usually the winter here last longer than anywhere else, with great snow conditions makes Karlov Ski Centre very popular resort for all winter activities.
There are 11 ski slopes in the area, each with the ski tows and snow cannons guaranteeing the snow all the time. All the slopes are very well maintained, some of them flood lighted for the night skiing too. The slopes are suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to advance skiers / snowboardists. There are parking areas, restaurants and accommodation available near to all slopes in the area.
There is a ski/snowboard school and hire shop right next to one of the slope, exactly what we were looking for, as this is our first time on snowboard. I am not good at skiing at all, and I am very keen to try snowboard this time. I think, snowboard will be right for me. Two hours of face to face snowboard lesson with one of the trainers proved to be very useful. It was great. I enjoyed every single minute, and at the end of the lesson, I was able to go downhill without falling. At that time I knew I will love snowboard forever. It was an unforgettable experience and I cannot wait to do it again.
Even thought we were thinking of 4 hour lesson at the beginning, the 2 hour lesson was enough. Tired and exhausted we board the Ski Bus going back to Olomouc. Happy and deligted.
