Pogledati punu verziju : Kopaonik snow cover
hello just wounder how many ppl are going out on the 7th jan o and how much snow is there ??????? been looking at the snow reports but its always changing. what do u guys look at to find out
thanks
I normally look on:
http://www.madeinserbia.net/Weather/Kopaonik.html
Or
www.weather.co.uk (http://www.weather.co.uk)
I think JC uses the MET Office pressure charts which show the projected movements of the pressure bands and precipitation which is quite helpful (yet sometimes depressing in the past :) ).

Cool! I can see people sledging on the live webcam
www.snow-forecast.com is also great if you want a boost, they tend to be generous with their snow forecasts; which leaves a warm glow inside ;)
think we'll be left with a 25cm base by tomorrow afternoon, which will hopefully be topped up a few times over the next couple of weeks, don't see any signs of any large dumps for a while (but the charts are even more unpredictable than usual as weather is due a change mid january - so nothing is certain).
However, I'd bet a glass of rakija that it'll snow just before the 21st... which is a stroke of luck for us 21sters.
lets hope I'm right :cool:
I am going to kopaonik at 6th January !!! It must be enought snow !!! I will make some pictures ! :)
20cm fell last night :couto:
I love kop.
what looked like a little snow shower on friday could now be 10cm of fresh pow.
40cm base!!!! :sm017:

Or is it a case of someone just sticking a ruler outside their front door and seeing what they get xD

Although i cant exactly see much! The live webcam isnt working for me. And i cant see much on the static one. (hopefully because of a snow storm rather than fog this time!)

We were going to stay at the Grand but we have a single person coming with us and when we booked there were no single rooms available and they wanted to charge the full amount for a second person to be in that room as the supplement.
The Club A looks ok though. Most reports ive read says it ok, just a little dated!

Do you know that at those prices, you guys seems to be paying LESS for the hotels than us locals !? It even seems that your ski-pass is cheaper, and I am talking in absolute, nominal terms - not even taking into account the average income. So do us a favour, stop complaining and enjoy the snow (and :dziveli:). :sm021:

wise words; from now on I'm not going to whinge about anything kop related.... only 3 weeks until I experience my first mountain of 2007 :yay:
Hello!
I went to Kop in February last year. It was my first time snowboarding and I loved it! So we are going again on 4th Feb, really excited about snowboarding again :)
Last year we stayed at Aparthotel Konaci and we were half board, and I must say that the half board food wasn't to my taste at all (or the rest of our group). So this year we are going self catering.
my views the same went half board last year and the food wasnt great, there are 4 of us going...
with regards to eating toast all week i can live on that as im taking me tub of marmite along with me the other plus is at least i can have toast when ever i want lol
every ones got the own views
Most people seem to complain about Eastern European food. You pick a skiing holiday (esp a 'cheaper' one) for skiing, not cuisine!
I was in Bulgaria last year, the food is different, but was all edible. And if we wanted a night out to eat in a restaurant, it wasn't too expensive.

What sort of food should we be expecting in (a) the hotels and (b) in the restuarents and cafes on the mountain and in the resort?
Any tips?
there was nothing wrong with the food only the fact that there wasnt much of it lol
Official metheorological web site for Serbia is :
http://www.hidmet.sr.gov.yu/eng/osmotreni/index.php
They give quite up-to date snow cover data. There is 30cm of snow today (03-01-2007). The web site is in English.
Cheers
(I am going with my son on February 12 ...went last January and had a great time)
o and is any 1 having trouble with the web cam
The live webcam isn't loading for me, it was fine yesterday.
lol. my lift pass cost me £55
£55 for six or seven days?
£55 = 6380 dinars
"We" pay 8000 dinars (£69) for six and 9100 dinars (£79) for seven days.
Can somebody elese no-serbian write here how much do thay pay for the ski pass?

This is for six days.
This is the price that we have to pay through our tour operator. (Crystal)
Im guessing as they promise they will bring "x" amount of customers they get (and then us as cutomers) a discounted rate.
Also, for anyone who pre books thier equipment and ski school, they get their lift pass for nothing.
I hope we havent annoyed anyone!

I've just checked my invoice and we've paid £58 for the lift pass. (Not £55)

Not sure about the hotels, it's been a while since I've been there, but I think that breakfast is the same all over the world... not adequate! (never went to really high class hotel, though)
But in the restaurants up there it should be ok, for you guys it shouldn't be too expensive, and there's plenty to choose if you're not a vegetarian, 'couse we generaly eat a lot of meat in Serbia, so I think there are several barbecue places up there, small, fast-food like, that you should try. Most of them are located in Konaci circle, there's pretty much everything you'll need...

weee 36 cm :D Kop looks really cute today! Hopefully should have a bit more over the next few days from looking at the forecast. I just want it to stay this time!
any one have any idear how many runs and lifts are open ???
thanks
everyday the models change however I do like what Alan Reppert has to say about the coming month:
"The Adriatic region will see more in the way of above normal rain/snowfall, but still nothing too far above normal. Temperatures will be much closer to normal, especially over northern Italy, but I do see it still being a bit above normal, closer to 1-3 degrees F."
However he then goes on to say:
"Southeastern Europe will likely see some more in the way of above normal rainfall, and I think it will be turning more on the mild side for the area. Normal rainfall should be more widespread for the region, though snowfall may be a bit harder to find with the much colder air well off to the north. "
Hopefully by the north he means Serbia, but even an above average rainfall should be fantastic news for kop as at its altitude it should hopefully fall as snow.

The GFS is predicting a storm over Spain in a few days time, my worst fear is that this could push loads of warm air over kopaonik preventing any decent snowfall before our holiday... If I watch that snow melt away to nothing AGAIN it would be the end of me.
I'm starting to develop a love/hate relationship for mount kop ;)
looking at the weather report for next week it looks like the snow might melt out from under us. hopefully we can get a couple of days skiing first though. why is it so warm? it's january....
I guess you'll have skiable conditions for your entire holiday... I can't say I'm not jealous.
i hope so. don't be jealous...you've got another couple of weeks to get some good snow, i'm sure you'll be fine * it's just worrying when you sit at work staring at the webcam all day...

I see that the snow depth is now upto 39cm.
I hope the high temperatures forecast for next week dont materialise!
I still think theres a strong chance it will snow around the time we arrive... theres a lot of activity in the GFS around the 21st... i don't think theres much chance of the snow level dropping below 20cm so I'm guessing we'll be playing in enough snow to satisfy my needs :sm011:
Next week looks pretty bleak though.

Snow depth have dropped 4cm today.

Gutted, would like it to stay around the 40cm mark but guess I'm just being greedy :)
As long as there's enough for me to grace the slopes with my not so silky skills I will be happy.
Got the kids large bumb board out the loft today and was tempted to go the stairs on it but the missus wouldn't have it incase I bust a leg!!
Cafu earlier this week the forecasts were not good for your holiday... but things have changed theres a 50/50 chance of a decent snowfall while you're out there... the GFS looks good for mid-week.
maybe we'll all get lucky :dziveli:

If these long range forecasts come to light we could see upto 1 metre of snow fall on our holiday 21sters.... keep praying & dancing because its working ;)
Does the long range forecast cover 4th February? Thats when I'm out there and I greedy as I am, I would quite like there to be some snow around! :)
Fingers crossed for snow for everyone going!
The models tend to go no further 2/3 weeks into the future, so you'll have to wait a week or two.
But looking that far into the future isn't reliable, anything over a week is highly likely to change... I base my 21st optimism on the storms traveling across Europe, pretty much every model has at some stage shown at least one of these storms crossing Serbia's border.
The odds are in our favour.
as much as 12cm's of snow could fall on friday :yay:

click continue, then choose 0-180h GFS on the meteogram option, then type the password... This will give you a good percipitation forecast; to calculate how much snow will fall multiply the percipitation by 8-10.. if there's 2mm of rain it could fall as 2cm of snow.
Next visit: http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/animations.html
Scroll down to europe find the row named "MSLP, 1000-500mb Thickness, & Precipitation" and select the long range GFS gif option, this will give you an easy to follow percipitation forecast at a slightly lower altitude.

I was hoping for the 21st but the models are gradually shifting the dates back.... must pray harder.
come back snow! Need a huge dump on friday now! we'll be lucky if we get 1cm.... with rising temperatures until the 24th/25th (when it looks like it could snow very heavily).
I think we should deffinatly get snow on our holiday, I'd just rather it fell during the first 3 days, rather than the last 3 days.

we're going on the 21st too, everyone seems to be!
whos been before, we are worried its a bit third world, is it?
Does anyone know if the snow that is there now is likley to last till then, bit worried bout the sleet forecast for the 20th?
3 cm's to fall today
15cm's (maybe) on the 22nd
7cm's (maybe) on the 27th
of course this will probably change, but its looking less and less likely that the snow level will reach 50cm for the 21st :(

Pete don't worry (no :hair:) Serbia is far from a third world. It is not all as it is in UK but most of the thing are changing to better. After a lot years of isolation Serbia invested a lot in it's Ski facilities and they are the best in this part of Europe. I traveled to other ski resorts in the region but when it comes to ski infrastructure Kop is the best and the biggest it has the capacity of around 22.500 skiers per hour.
In the couple of years you will see a new ski center in Serbia Stara Planina (Old mountain). It is the biggest undeveloped ski resort in Europe with the potential of 200 km of ski tracks. This is the first year when it is operational with only two ski lifts and main investment is expected in 2007 and 2008. :sm019: :ski:

And give those poor buggers going out on sunday some fresh pow to play in.
The weather is still touch and go for our holiday... it seems to look like no more than 20cm over a couple of days at the moment... but there are some decent possible storms very close to kopaonik - they just need to nudge a little closer to our mountain.

All this worry wont make it snow more, just makes you stress!
Relax, have a few :dziveli: , then have some more :cug: - nothing you can do if it doesn't snow anyway!
after 20th january, a lot of snow!!!

20cm of snow forecasr for friday the 26th :couto:
Unfortunatly theres only about 8cm forecast for the days prior to that.... whats certain is there is plenty of percipitation forecast for the week commencing the 21st.... Lets just hope they have their dates wrong and we get the big dump at the beginning ;)

It looks promising for our friends that are going on the 21st! I think that they will not have problem skiing when it's snowing. :ski:
Its not looking good for those going on the 21st:

The snow could come as we're leaving...
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/jc_newcastle/snow.jpg
As you can see from the above image we could see as little as 5cm's until the end of our holiday... The weather maps keep shifting the dump further and further back... This is turning into a very depressing week.
weather reports aren't accurate... but we're moving closer and closer to the reliable time frame :(

JC don't get disappointed yet because as one of our sports reporter says:
Statistics is like a bikini it shows everything but reveals nothing! :sm022:
Everything can change! I have been following this website for forecast since you sent me the address and it is changing several times a day. Lets hope that it will change to more positive forecast for you! :sm017:
Looking at that graph there is a lot of precipitation just before I go on the 4th. Its just will it fall as rain or snow?! lol

That depends from the temperature, and having in mind that it is Kop temperature will be in minus and that means SNOOOOWWW :dziveli:
Statistics is like a bikini it shows everything but reveals nothing! :sm022: hahaha that is the best meteorological line I've ever heard :sm017:
Anyone that can compare weather maps to breasts is pretty special.
One thing the charts have been consistant with is that there will be percipitation when we're there... but when it drops hasn't been decided yet.
I'm crossing everything for the 22nd (21st seems but a dream).
JC, is it possible to get a linky to that precip graph please?
Munchio, posted this a few pages back (you wont see the exact graph I joined two graphs together):
Goto: http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/cmet.html?
type:
Latitude: 43.28
Longtitude: 20.8
click continue, then choose 0-180h GFS on the meteogram option, then type the password... This will give you a good percipitation forecast; to calculate how much snow will fall multiply the percipitation by 8-10.. if there's 2mm of rain it could fall as 2cm of snow.
Next visit: http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/animations.html
Scroll down to europe find the row named "MSLP, 1000-500mb Thickness, & Precipitation" and select the long range GFS gif option, this will give you an easy to follow percipitation forecast at a slightly lower altitude.
That should cover every angle :)

75cm!!!!
if this materialises - whoever comes on the 28th is in for the ultimate holiday....
(its also now saying 6cm's on the 21st and 6cm's a few days earlier.... watching these weather maps is like taking heroin... soaring highs followed by heart wrenching lows).

Woo-Hoo........
The PatMan lands on the 28th!! But I trust weather charts as much as I trust politicians!! Will wait and see. Am sure that whenever we all get to Kop, a great time will be had!
:cug: all round!

:cug: all round! Youre right, any statistics published now aren't even slightly reliable, however they're a good indication of what could happen... and every chart for the last 2 weeks has decided that you're in for an awesome holiday.... Still things are looking up for the 21 club :)
But I trust weather charts as much as I trust politicians!!
there's an old joke about indians asking their profit about the forecoming winter... the profit says that the winter will be cold. So the indians prepared extra wood, fur and all the other things that may come in handy. Winter came and passed, they didn't need to use any of it. Next year they asked again. "This will be the coldest winter in the past 10 years", the profit said. So the tribe prepared everything again for extra cold winter, and it was mild again. Third year profit said "This will be the coldest winter in the past 100 years!" So the indians prepared tons of wood, killed hundreds of animals for fur and prepared everything, only to see another autumn-like winter. So when they came the forth year, the profit said "I need a day to think about it!' So he went down the mountain straight to the town's meteorology centre and said to the guys there: "Ok, guys, please help me, I will loose my influence in the tribe, I'm being wrong for 3 years now, what's winter gona be like this year?"
And the guys said:"This will be the coldest winter ever, the indians are preparing for it for the past 3 years!!!":glavaozid

Today yours weather maps are not that nice as before, maybe you could check them again. :glavaozid
If weather continues changing like this we will not have any snow on Kop. :confused:

All the maps I look at show a lot of precipitation while we are out there and a nice dusting on Thursday/Friday. If it stays with that it will be fine. Some snow arriving to freshen to slopes and enough falling all week to keep it pretty :)
The maps are still excellent today... They're saying 50cm's could fall during and before the first half of our holiday.
with the added bonus a nice dusting of snow on friday... 4cm's are what every forecaster seems to predict.... it's looking good for the 21 crew.

Bah was hoping to wake up and see snow falling today :( I know I have no patience. Please can you all do the snow dance today. Those of you (like me) who are glued to this forum while at work don't be ashamed the whole office might see you, get them to join in!!!!

I will dance in front of my university!
latest forecast showing 8cm's today but much less next week....
These weather forecasts are unbelievably inconsistent, but I have quit worrying about it now.
People who are not coming are delighting in predicting to me that the UK will be knee deep in snow next week while Kop isn't - they'd better be wrong!!! :glavaozid

I have just heard from my friends up there. It is as depressing as camera shows ;( No snow, foggy, warm.. I am coming there tommorow, anyway..
The tourist site says they have artifical snow machines on some slopes - is that true? Does that mean we would def get some skiing even if no new stuff fell?

Yes, there are some, but I doubt they can operate at this temperature - 1C at 21:22 ?!? Calm and foggy night..
