Description

Would you like to feel more confident in your freeride skiing or snowboarding experiences? Then join me for an avalanche safety workshop at the Vogel Ski Resort!

Located an hour away from Ljubljana, the Vogel is one of the most famous ski resorts in Slovenia. It stands above the Bohinj Valley, next to Lake Bohinj, and its nearest city is Bled. Opened in 1964, this area offers more than 30kms of pistes, and a huge terrain for powder descents.

This day course is ideal for snowboarders and backcountry skiers. We will focus on avalanche training. The Vogel Resort offers a multi-burial simulation polygon that is perfect to understand the real dynamics of avalanches. We will work on: planning a freeride skiing or snowboarding trip, the necessary equipment and its usage, how to recognize snow conditions, and safety protocols. The most important thing is that you will be able to test what you have learned!

Keep in mind that for this course you will need to be at an intermediate or advanced level. I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to take their skiing and snowboarding to the next level and plan more challenging adventures!

So book your place now and I will teach you what I know on this avalanche safety workshop in the Slovenian Vogel Ski Resort!

I also offer freeride skiing and snowboarding trips in this same area. Check them out.

Mountain Guide

I am a IFMGA certified mountain guide, ski instructor, and sports teacher.

I believe guides do their best job when they guide in the mountains they are most familiar with. That is one of the biggest reasons why I specialize in guiding in Slovenia. I climb Triglav more than 25 times per year, which means I have climbed the most famous peak in my country around 400 times.

If you want to climb or ski in the Slovenian mountains, I am the right choice. I guide via ferrata, rock climbing, snow climbing, ice climbing, hikes, freeride skiing, and ski touring. Most of my summer work involves climbing Triglav, and most of my winter work involves Triglav and ski touring around it.

Slovenia offers good options for all of these activities, so you are welcome to take a look at my trips and find something for yourself. If you don't find anything, let me know, and I will see if I can help you!

I speak English. Ich spreche auch ein bisschen Deutsch. Parlo anche un po' di Italiano e hablo también un poco de Español.

If I am not available to guide you, one of the super experienced guides in my team will be your guide.

Shame about the weather meaning we had to not do what we wanted (including climb Triglav) - but the rest was superb

Owen

An absolutely wonderful experience, Mitja was amazing and the consummate professional throughout. The scenery was awesome, including the Fauna. The staff at base camp were great, and we all bonded and achieved, as a team. I’ll never forget it!

Thank you Mitja and Blaz for the Triglav experience! I applaud to our expertise & care for me (and the whole group). Thank you for the journey together! All the best, Ilze

Asher

Fantastic experience

Lasse

Very good information and felt very safe. It can be hard to align the Tempo to a big group, but we were several that thought it was too slow and thought about only book a guide from the hut to the top if there was a next time.
