no_snow_in_swindon and I have been fretting about the snow conditions for the last few months.... it didn't seem fair that you could just join the forum before a predicted dump without the pre-flight nerves ;)Citirati:

Kopaonik (stolen from snowheads), January 1990:

On a lighter note this is a ski slope not too far from Kopaonik at similar altitude:

Ha ha I have been reading the forum for a while but decided to get in on the act and make myself known, especially seeing as if there is no snow we will all be in the bars getting rather slaughtered xD
Can we walk to the other slope if necessary!!?? I'm not too nervous as we have another month to go and a lot can happen in that! It will just really suck cos I have saved for this and it will be my last skiing trip for a while cos I need to buy a house!
Our holiday is in Mother Nature's hands lol
by region I mean bosnia... you'll need some sturdy boots to walk that far ;)Citirati:

I'm sure there'll be at least a metre of snow because I've bought a new board, new boots & new bindings... I know g-d wouldn't want me to scrape my lovely new gear on rocks :cool:
LOL
You could look to attaching some wheels on the bottom! I've got hire gear so you'll be seeing me skiing over the rocks!
IT MUST SNOW................
sorry for shouting:sm004:
my mate is having jitters about going now.....please no more negative posts:eek::sm021:
By the looks of the reports it's snowing, and it's going to keep snowing all week! Nice as I'll be on the slopes on Christmas Day.
Save some for me :ski:
Hi cafu did you look the site that i gave you adress yesterday ? :)
Hi there Kop,
Yes thanks I had a look at both of the links, both very good. All we need now is lots of snow on those runs :)
Looking at the webcam now, it seems that its either.....
a) Very foggy
or
b) Its snowing very hard!!!!
Looking at it now, it seems that it was just foggy then! :sm008:Citirati:

should snow for 2 days now though.... :dziveli:
woohooo 3cm! Not quite enough for a decent snow ball fight lol 34 days til I go skiing. I'm panicing a bit early maybe lol
Today and tomorrow look like the major snow days. I hope Serbia gets burried in it xD
I went to Kopaonik last January, went on the 21st January for a week, going again this year on the 14th. The snow cover last year was excellent, well over a metre in places, only saw one patch of grass on the slopes and that was under a conifer tree. The first couple of days last year were really cold, not just cold, but really cold. Even the ski instructors didn't enjoy going out, one of the coldest weeks on record. An Irish chap who got lost almost died one night!
The first couple of weeks in January are really cold and the slopes are quite busy as it's holiday season in Serbia. It gets a little quieter at the end of January and still nowhere near as busy as France or Switzerland.
I've got loads of photos from last year, plenty of snow. There's also quite a bit forecast for the next ten days. We'vre kept in touch with our ski chappy from last year and he said there's always plenty of snow in January and into February.
well it looks like it is snowing a bit there right now. Every little helps xD
In Belgrade is snowing very hard right now, so i think that is snowing on Kopaonik too ! :sm021:
No. Only 3cm of snow. Look live web cam, or http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/13378.htmlCitirati:

seems like its snowing everywhere in the world bar kopaonik.... whats going on? :confused:
I am looking at the live webcam and it will say 3cm until it's updated at about 14:00.
Wish the webcam was higher up, how the car park looks doesn't bother me LOL
Some sites are predicting about 30cm of snow falling over the next week and then others are predicting just fog. Really frustrating. All the sites I look at are associated with buying holidays there so they wouldn't have a hidden interest in predicting snow that isn't coming. Blah, some consensus would be nice xD

what I can't understand is with such a high percentage of precipitation, low tempratures and snow in all the surrounding regions.... how is kopaonik still not snowing?!?!?
Just called hotel I am going on Thursday 21st.
They said:"snow falling down, but occasionally ... seems to be 10 cm this evening... call us tomorrow afternoon...have a pleasant stay in our hotel!!!??".
You can try on www.hotels.co.yu to get some usefull hotel sights including phone no's to get instant information 'bout weather ;)
Seems they're speaking English :)
Info including latest pictures next week.
It started 15mins ago. Seems it is snowing with an average intensity considering difference between two refreshes of webcam. Hope it'll keep that way.
Came back from lunch and I'm quite happy to see fresh snow lying on the road!
WAAAHOOOO
its getting dark, I wanted to watch everything turn white :(Citirati:

Looks like there'll be a little snow overnight, but nothing like the blizzards other places have had .
all weather reports I've seen said good snow until Thurs morning. If it's not there by Thurs could be hiking!
Maybe other parts of the world could send some over, one resort I saw in USA or Canada had 278cm. Drools....
there'll be plenty of snow by january the 21st.... I just feel sorry for the poor buggers that went for christmas ;)Citirati:

Well, with 27 days to go I've finally given in and conceded that I can't influence the weather.:sm008:
Mother nature is going to do what she wants when she wants but I have every faith in the good old girl putting things right soon. :sm017:
From 4cm snow to 10cm in an hour seems good going to me, let's hope :sm017: this keeps up for a good few days and the pattern extends over the next few weeks:ski:
Great ! 10cm !
