Alpine Skiing
From 23.01. - 25.01 I was in Slovakia for 2011 Winter Deaflympics site inspection. I've looked at 2 different mountains.
First visit was in Strbske Pleso near Vysoké Tatry and this mountain was not bad. I thought this mountain was ideal for tourist, not for elite athletes.
The second visit was in Jansa, I liked it very much and I have received from the Chief Mountain the homologation certificate. The designed course is FIS recognized. The other reason why I really like this course is because skiers can go down only once with one run. The last time was in Banff / Canada when Downhill Course have 1 run. That will certainly be a challenge for athletes. The Ski club in Jansa work very well and are professional. The OC has agreed to move all races to Jasna.
